2014 Map of Tappen North

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Kidder County dominate this 2014 survey, where a complex network of seasonal and permanent water bodies like Big Muddy Lake, Stony Lake, and Mud Lake define the prairie landscape. This region of North Dakota is characterized by its pothole lakes and glacial features, including McPhail Butte which rises above the surrounding McPhail Slough. The southern edge of the map shows the proximity of the small communities of Dawson and Tappen, linked by the corridor of CR-10. Local transportation and agriculture are supported by private and public infrastructure, evidenced by the M. Bodvig Airstrip to the north and the Tappen Airstrip near the town site. Genealogists may find interest in the Fisher Cem, located near the intersection of 36th St SE and 39th Ave SE, serving as a quiet landmark among the section-line roads that grid the expansive terrain.
