Scouting ground near Manning for the coming season? Think of the Dunn County hunting map as two layers: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. What this Dunn County guide covers: state sources for public ground, how to read private parcel lines, and how to ask for permission.
The Dunn County hunting map: start here
For a home near Dunn Center, public hunting areas are mapped by North Dakota Game and Fish Department, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Dunn County Portico map; it covers each assessed parcel from Dunn Center to Killdeer. With a lot near Twin Buttes, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near Marshall, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county asks for it first.
Parcel lines for hunters
The Dunn County Portico map shows private parcel lines, and each tract near New Hradec lists an owner.
Aerial scouting
On the aerial around Dodge, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, whether the land is near Manning or elsewhere in the county. Out toward New Hradec, use the document number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Safety and courtesy
Respect livestock and crops around Twin Buttes, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
Getting your bearings
Manning is the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Dodge, Dunn Center, Halliday, and Killdeer, each with its own cluster of lots. About 4,019 people call Dunn County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 2,008 square miles. The county was formed in 1883, and some chains of title near Marshall are long. Features like Lake Ilo National Wildlife Refuge help you orient on the aerial.
Who handles what
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Killdeer come from the County Recorder, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Twin Buttes are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near New Hradec, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Manning is a good backup.
Getting a yes
Tell the owner near Twin Buttes what you'd hunt, when and with whom, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
A word on accuracy
For a parcel near Twin Buttes, acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on the ground. For property near Twin Buttes, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Regulations to check
Check North Dakota Game and Fish Department for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules for land around Dodge.

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Dunn Center vary in size.
