1975 Map of McKenzie

About this map

McKenzie sits at a historic transportation junction in central North Dakota, where the Burlington Northern line and a modern interstate highway corridor intersect. The landscape is defined by its transition from agricultural townships like Menoken and Mc Kenzie to the prairie wetland environments of the McKenzie Slough. Significant portions of the terrain are dedicated to conservation, including the State Game Management Area and the National Waterfowl Production Area, which protect the habitats surrounding Random Creek and Long Lake Creek. Traces of earlier development remain visible through the Old Railroad Grade and several scattered wells and a Gravel Pit. A regional Pipeline and a prominent Radio Tower reflect the utility infrastructure supporting Burleigh County during the mid-1970s.
