About this map

Beaver Creek carves a winding path through this portion of Williams County, creating a series of intricate coulees and draws that disrupt the otherwise orderly grid of section-line roads. This landscape reflects the industrial shift of the early 21st century, dominated in the southeast corner by the Beaver Lodge Oil and Gas Field. Amidst the modern energy infrastructure, quiet markers of earlier settlement remain, most notably the German Cem located near the intersection of 63rd St NW and 109th Ave NW. The network of gravel roads, including 112th Ave NW and 64th St NW, provides access to these isolated rural sites, showing a territory where agricultural traditions and natural drainage patterns meet the rising footprint of North Dakota's oil production.
