2017 Map of Warnke Hill

About this map

Pierce sits in a high-prairie landscape defined by the branching tributaries of the Cedar Creek system. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Warnke Hill and the Bob Denny Hills, which rise above the surrounding sections. This 2017 survey details a sparsely populated agricultural region where local history is anchored by the Pierce Cem and Cedar Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of this corner of North Dakota. The drainage network is clearly defined by the paths of N Cedar Cr, Cedar Cr, and S Cedar Cr, which weave through the townships. The map documents the persistent rectangular grid of county roads, including 128th Ave SW, while also showing the transition across the Slope County and Bowman County line, marking an essential boundary for local researchers and genealogists tracing family land holdings.
