About this map

Fort Clark Historic Site anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape along the Northern Pacific rail line, marking a critical point of frontier trade and settlement history. Situated at the boundary of Mercer Co and Oliver Co, the area transitions from the river bottomlands near Fort Clark to the upland terrain where Strip Mine operations and several Gravel Pits indicate the mid-century industrial activity of North Dakota's coal country. Family history is preserved at the Bagley Cem and St Pauls Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The drainage of Square Butte Creek winds through the southern sections, while the small settlement of Alderin sits near the northern margin, illustrating the sparse but deliberate distribution of rural communities in the late 1960s.
