2017 Map of Blacktail Lake

About this map

The settlement of Marmon and the waters of Blacktail Lake characterize this portion of Williams County, where the plains are etched by the Little Muddy River and its various tributaries. The landscape is organized by a strict section-line road grid, typical of the northern Great Plains, punctuated by small community landmarks like the Bethel Cem and Faith Cem. These points of interest, along with local drainage features like Heidemann Coulee and Otter Tail Cr, offer specific geographic coordinates for family historians and researchers looking into early 21st-century land use in North Dakota. The map illustrates a rural environment where infrastructure like Co Hwy 8A and Co Hwy 10 connects scattered homesteads across the townships of T158N R101W and T157N R100W.
