2011 Map of Fort Clark

About this map

The Missouri River defines the northern boundary of this landscape, its braided channels and sandbars flowing just west of Mandan Lake. This area of McLean County is characterized by a high-plateau agricultural grid, where long rural roads like 35th 1/2 Ave Sw and 20th St Sw segment the prairie into vast sections. Water management is a primary feature of the local topography, evidenced by landmarks such as Daub Dam near the river and Square Butte 2 Dam to the south. These structures, along with numerous unnamed depressions and small wetlands dotting the terrain, reflect the hydrologic engineering required to sustain North Dakota's heartland. The map provides a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure, showing the precise alignment of township roads and the drainage patterns that influence the surrounding agricultural life.
