About this map

The unincorporated community of Charbonneau serves as the focal point for this rural McKenzie County landscape. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a traditional ranching and farming environment, where life is organized around the drainage basins of Charbonneau Creek, Antelope Creek, and Middle Creek. Significant local history is anchored by family operations including the L Tjelde Ranch, V Foreman Ranch, and J Kykendall Ranch.

One of the most intriguing features for genealogists and local historians is the Nameless Cemetery, located in the northwest near the winding course of Charbonneau Creek. The terrain is characterized by broad coulees and significant landmarks such as Bull Butte. The local infrastructure is largely defined by sections of Cartwright Rd and a network of smaller ranch roads connecting dispersed homesteads and livestock water sources like Jackson Dam.
