2020 Map of Tappen SE

About this map

Tappen anchors the northwest corner of this survey, set against the high plains of Kidder County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System divisions of T139n R71w, T139n R70w, T138n R71w, and T138n R70w, revealing a strict section-line grid of rural roads. These routes, including 38th St SE and 40th Ave SE, provide access to a terrain marked by numerous glacial depressions and small wetlands. In the southeast, the map captures a portion of Lake George, a significant hydrological feature in this prairie pothole region. This 2020 edition offers a precise record of contemporary rural North Dakota, showing the relationship between modern infrastructure and the original land partitions of the 19th-century survey system.
