About this map

The Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the Missouri River crosses the border between Montana and North Dakota. This 2014 survey documents the rugged drainage patterns and agricultural infrastructure surrounding the small settlements of Nohly and Dore. The terrain is defined by complex coulees, such as Figley Coulee and Garden Coulee, which feed into the river valley.

Evidence of local irrigation and land management is visible through the Main Canal, which cuts across the flats near Nohly Lake. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies landmarks like Fairview Cem and Simon Spring in the southern reaches of the quadrangle. The intersection of the state line with the river and these named watercourses illustrates the specialized geography of the McKenzie County and Richland County borderlands.
