2017 Map of Charlson NE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Missouri River valley was transformed by mid-century engineering. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the White Earth River and Alkali Creek, which carve through the high plains of the Missouri Coteau. This 2017 representation of the area highlights a sparse network of section-line roads, including 102nd Ave NW and 100th Ave NW, which serve the agricultural and energy interests of the region. A notable corridor is the Old Senic Hwy, which traces the contours of the land above the river valley. The map documents the complex jurisdictional boundaries where Williams, Mountrail, and McKenzie counties meet near the northern shores of the reservoir, providing a clear record of the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology in the heart of the Williston Basin.
