1968 Map of Dore

About this map

The Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site and Fort Buford State Historic Site stand as critical historic markers at the confluence where the Missouri River meets the North Dakota-Montana border. This survey captures a landscape defined by its strategic position, where the Burlington Northern tracks run parallel to the Main Canal, facilitating the regional irrigation and transport necessary for valley agriculture. Small rail-side communities like Dore and Nohly provide focal points for local history, while the presence of the Fairview Cem and other local cemeteries offers valuable data for genealogical research. The varied water features, including Nohly Lake and Figley Coulee, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Missouri Basin, which was a primary focus of Department of the Interior development during this period.
