2024 Map of Charlson SW

About this map

Little Missouri National Grassland dominates the broken landscape of McKenzie County in this contemporary survey, characterized by the intricate drainages of Sand Creek and its tributaries. The northern boundary is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea, which significantly altered the local geography and road networks after its creation. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of rural life and public land management, showing how modern transportation routes like State Hwy 1806 and Co Rd 55 navigate the high plateaus and coulees. A small cluster of historical significance appears in the south at Good Hope Cem - First Lutheran Cem, serving as a vital landmark for genealogists and local historians tracking early 20th-century settlement patterns. The presence of Prop Wash Field further highlights the utilitarian use of this open, windswept terrain.
