1970 Map of Halliday NE

About this map

The Fort Berthold Indian Reservation defines the northern half of this landscape, its boundary cutting across a terrain of high plateaus and creek valleys. At the northwestern edge, the rising waters of Lake Sakakawea reached an elevation of 1838 feet following the development of the Missouri River Basin project. This 1970 survey captures the transition of the land as it was impacted by large-scale water management and infrastructure, seen in the path of the Pipeline crossing the southern sections. Genealogists and local historians will find the St Johns Cem situated on the high ground between Steel Creek and Hans Creek, providing a specific point of reference for the families who settled this part of Dunn County. The map also includes fine-lined detail of selected fence and field lines, documenting the agricultural footprint in the years following the reservoir's creation.
