2011 Map of Red Mike Hill

About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River dominate the southern margin of this Williams County landscape, defining the local topography and drainage patterns. The high ground is marked by Red Mike Hill and the distinctive indentation of Half Breed Coulee, while a series of watercourses including Thorsen Creek, Beaver Creek, and Nelson Creek carve through the prairie towards the reservoir. The survey illustrates a rigid section-line road network, primarily composed of routes like 112th Ave NW and 54th St NW, which dictate the movement across this sparsely populated region. This 2011 rendering shows the relationship between the modern shoreline of the massive reservoir and the original river channel, providing a clear view of the water-governed geography of western North Dakota.
