1968 Map of Buford

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The confluence of the Yellowstone River and the Missouri River dominates this late 1960s survey, marking a vital hydrographic junction on the North Dakota-Montana border. This landscape is steeped in frontier history at the Fort Buford State Historic Site, located just west of the small settlement of Buford. The terrain transitions from the broad river bottomlands to the eroded breaks of the Sioux region to the south. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and a pipeline cutting across the eastern bluffs. To the east, the rising waters of Lake Sakakawea begin to take shape, with certain areas marked as subject to controlled inundation. Localized details like a siphon on Fourmile Creek and a drill hole in the southern hills reflect the agricultural and industrial activities of the era.
