1970 Map of Halliday NE

About this map

The Fort Berthold Indian Reservation boundary cuts through the northern half of this landscape, marking a transition between tribal lands and the surrounding rural plains of Dunn County. This 1970 field check captures the area after the creation of the Garrison Dam, with the waters of Lake Sakakawea reaching into the northwest corner via Hay Coulee. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Hans Creek and Steel Creek, which carve deep drainage patterns through the prairie. Near the center of the sheet, the presence of St Johns Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists and local historians, while a prominent Pipeline running through the southern section indicates the region's developing energy infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
