2017 Map of Charlson NW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, its expansive waters meeting the shoreline at Hofflund Bay. The map documents a rugged drainage network where Beaver Cr and Dry Fork Cr carve through the dissected plateau of northwest North Dakota. This 2017 survey illustrates the modern intersection of the natural river valley and the rigid Public Land Survey System, with a series of numbered section roads such as 57th St NW and 52nd St NW providing access to the upland plains. Straddling the jurisdictional line between Williams Co and McKenzie Co, the area retains its agricultural character, defined by the township and range divisions of T154N and T155N. The topography reveals the intricate erosion patterns typical of the Missouri River breaks, offering a detailed view of the Missouri's course before it enters the main body of the reservoir.
