About this map

The Missouri River and the massive impoundment of Lake Sakakawea dominate the southern landscape of this 1969 survey, where the river's historic channel meets the flooded valley of Twin Valley. The topography is defined by the sharp transition from the upland plateaus of Brooklyn and View down into the deeply eroded drainage systems of Hungry Gulch and Nelson Gulch. These coulees provide critical water sources in an otherwise arid region, marked by named sites like Hungry Gulch Spring, Cussicks Spring, and Mark Adams Spring.

Cultural landmarks and land management are evident through the North Tobacco Garden State Game Management Area and the Lewis and Clark Recreation Area, reflecting the area's mid-century shift toward managed recreation and conservation. Local history is anchored by rural infrastructure such as the Wunderlich Sch, while natural features like Dauers Slough and Stone Johnny Hill remain as persistent markers of the Williams County terrain.
