2024 Map of Banks

About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the winding Missouri River define the western reaches of this McKenzie County landscape. The settlement of Banks serves as a local navigational point at the junction of 43rd St NW and Highway 1806, situated on the high ground overlooking the river valley. To the east, the terrain is carved by the drainages of Tobacco Garden Creek and Long Creek, reflecting the intricate topography of the Missouri Plateau. Evidence of early community life is preserved at the Garden Valley Cem, located along 45th St NW. The map illustrates the contemporary section-line road network, such as W Tobacco Garden Rd and 118th Ave NW, which provides access to the agricultural tracts and coulees that characterize this part of North Dakota.
