About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and intermittent wetlands dominate this Kidder County landscape, where the section-line road grid organizes the rural expanse. The terrain is marked by numerous unnamed depressions and small water bodies characteristic of the Missouri Coteau region. Human presence is sparse but precisely marked by family and community landmarks such as Woodlawn Cem in the southeastern quadrant. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the crossing of North Dakota Highway 3 and a network of gravel routes including 25th Ave SE and 30th St SE. A notable specialized facility, the Kalainov Private Airport, sits tucked among the rolling contours, reflecting the utility of private aviation in the northern plains. This survey provides a clear view of the 21st-century agricultural layout and drainage patterns prior to any significant modern changes in land use.
