2024 Map of Fort Clark

About this map

Fort Clark sits atop the high ground overlooking the Missouri River in this modern survey of central North Dakota. This section of the river valley is defined by the boundary between Oliver Co and McLean Co, where the landscape shifts from the flat alluvial bottomlands near Mandan Lake to the deeply eroded coulees and drainage patterns of the surrounding uplands. The terrain is organized by a systematic grid of section roads, including 33rd Ave SW and 15th St SW, which trace the high ridges and provide access across the township lines. The proximity of the river and the historical significance of the namesake site suggest a landscape long defined by its relationship to this major water artery and the natural drainage of the Missouri breaks.
