1974 Map of Otter Tail Creek

About this map

Missouri Ridge dominates the southern landscape of this Williams County region, where the high prairie begins its descent toward the drainage basins of the Missouri River. The land is defined by a series of townships including Tyrone, Athens, and Blacktail, reflecting the early 20th-century administrative organization of the North Dakota frontier. Waterways like Otter Tail Creek, Cow Creek, and Camp Creek carve through the undulating terrain, providing the essential drainage for this agricultural and ranching country.
