2014 Map of Charlson NW

About this map

The Hofflund Gas and Oil Field dominates the northern uplands of this North Dakota landscape, illustrating the industrial footprint of energy production in Williams County. The terrain transitions from these industrial high grounds toward the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea, where the Missouri River corridor marks the southern boundary of the map. Numerous seasonal drainages, including Dry Fork Cr and Beaver Cr, carve through the rolling prairies to meet the reservoir. This 2014 survey documents the modern intersection of the natural river valley and the petroleum industry, showing the section-line road network that facilitates access to the oil fields and the county line shared between Williams Co and McKenzie Co across the water.
