2020 Map of Halliday NW

About this map

The Missouri River breaks of Dunn County are the focal point of this 2020 landscape, where the northern waters of Lake Sakakawea reach into the rugged drainage systems of western North Dakota. The topography is dominated by the deeply eroded coulees and draws that feed into Wolf Chief Bay, a northern arm of the reservoir. A sparse network of gravel roads including 88th Ave NW and 90th Ave SW provide the primary access through this township-and-range landscape, which is largely shaped by the Public Land Survey System boundaries such as t146n r92w and t146n r93w. Steel Cr meanders through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of the high plains before it meets the inundated valley. The map documents the persistent agricultural and ranching grid, with straight-line routes like 1st St SW cutting across the undulating terrain.
