2014 Map of Hay Flat

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the rugged breaks of the Missouri Plateau via McKenzie Bay and Water Chief Bay. The intricate shoreline reflects the flooded topography of the Missouri River valley, where high points like Old Man Dancing Butte rise above the surrounding flats. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the settlement of Twin Buttes serves as a primary hub of activity, situated near the intersection of ND-8 and local Bureau of Indian Affairs routes. The land is marked by distinct geographical features like Hay Flat and Mower Machine Flat, while local history is anchored at the Lincoln Memorial Cem. This 2014 survey documents the modern road network, including BIA Route 22, serving the communities within the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation across the McLean and Dunn county line.
