About this map

Lake Isabel and Alkali Lake anchor the northwestern corner of this landscape, part of a dense network of water bodies that characterize the prairie pothole region south of Tappen. The terrain is marked by a grid of rural section roads, including 35th Ave SE and 40th St SE, which connect isolated landmarks and small settlements. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated at Sibley Cemetery and Liberty Cemetery, providing fixed points of reference for researchers tracing family roots in Kidder County.

Industrial and recreational footprints are visible at the Rott Brothers Airstrip and Camp Grassick, the latter situated along the southwestern shore of Lake Isabel. To the south, the expansive Lake Henry dominates the lower quadrant, while smaller features like Headquarters Lake and Upper Harker Lake fill the central depressions. This survey captures the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology of the North Dakota plains during the early 21st century.
