About this map

Dawson sits at the southern edge of this landscape, a small settlement defined by its position along the interstate corridor. The surrounding terrain in Kidder County is a classic prairie pothole region, where the ground is punctuated by numerous bodies of water. Significant features include Buffalo Lake and the nearby Dead Buffalo Lake, alongside Sibley Lake and Big Muddy Lake. These water bodies are central to the geography of the area, separated by a grid of rural roads like 33rd St SE and 30th Ave SE. Family history researchers will find the Allen Cem located in the western portion of the quadrangle, a small but vital landmark in this sparsely populated agricultural district. The map reflects a modern rural environment where the original section lines dictate the movement across the prairie.
