1972 Map of Charbonneau

About this map

Charbonneau Creek and its many tributaries, including Middle Branch Charbonneau Creek and West Branch Charbonneau Creek, define this portion of McKenzie County in the early 1970s. The landscape is characterized by its drainage network and the prominent Bull Butte, which stands above the surrounding terrain. Human impact is visible through the infrastructure of the Burlington Northern railroad and the presence of Jackson Dam with its associated Spillway in the northern section of the map. Genealogists may find interest in the documented burial sites, such as the Nameless Cem and another Cem located near the eastern boundary. The map also records the jurisdictional lines of Sioux, Charbon, and Randolph, providing a clear picture of local land divisions during this era of North Dakota history.
