Tappen
Tappen is a small city in eastern Kidder County in central North Dakota on the I-94 corridor in the prairie-pothole lake country, a farm town with a base of agriculture, ranching, waterfowl-hunting hospitality, trades, and service businesses serving the surrounding farms and the I-94 traffic. Its highway-and-lake setting anchors a small rural economy.
