2017 Map of Timber Prong Creek

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates the eastern portion of this McKenzie County landscape, where the prairie is dissected by a network of drainage coulees and creeks. Two burial sites, Banks Lutheran Cem in the north and Garden Cem centrally located near 35 St NW, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early settlement families in this part of North Dakota. The hydrology of the area is defined by the namesake Timber Prong Creek and the winding course of Tobacco Garden Cr, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns typical of the region's breaks. A grid of section roads including Co Rte 12 and 34th St NW provides access to the high-relief terrain where Porcupine Coulee and Clear Cr carve through the grassland bluffs.
