1968 Map of Buford

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The confluence of the Missouri River and the Yellowstone River defines this landscape in the late 1960s, a vital junction where McKenzie and Williams Counties meet. This 1967 photogrammetric survey captures the area just before significant inundation changes, with the Lake Sakakawea backwaters beginning to influence the river levels. The settlement of Buford sits along the Burlington Northern railroad line, positioned near the Fort Buford State Historic Site, which preserves the legacy of this important frontier outpost. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands, dotted with features like Nohly Lake and Fourmile Creek, to the higher elevations of the Sioux region. Traces of local industry and infrastructure are visible through the inclusion of a Gravel Pit, various Drill Holes, and a long-distance Pipeline crossing the eastern bluffs.
