2018 Map of Tappen North

About this map

Sibley Lake and Mud Lake dominate this prairie landscape in Kidder County, where a complex system of sloughs and water bodies characterizes the northern plains. The settlement of Tappen sits at the southern edge of the map, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural section lines. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by glacial depressions, including Stony Lake and the McPhail Slough, which shape the local road grid. Local heritage is preserved in sites such as Buckeye Lutheran Cem and Fisher Cem, while the McPhail Butte provides a rare point of elevation among the low-lying wetlands. Small-scale aviation is represented by the M Bodvig Airstrip and Tappen Airstrip, highlighting the vast distances of this rural region.
