2011 Map of Steele NE

About this map

Allen Cemetery stands as a quiet focal point in this portion of Kidder County, situated among the prairie potholes and terminal moraine landscape of central North Dakota. The area is defined by its numerous water bodies, including the expansive Buffalo Lake and the adjacent Dead Buffalo Lake, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Missouri Coteau. A rigid grid of section roads, such as 31st Ave SE and 34th St SE, carves through the undulating terrain, indicating a landscape heavily organized for agricultural use. To the east, Sibley Lake and Big Muddy Lake further characterize this lacustrine environment, providing essential context for genealogists tracing families in the Dawson and Steele vicinities who lived and worked on these rural sections.
