About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River define the southern landscape of this Williams County region, where the prairie uplands meet the water. The map documents the rural infrastructure of Hofflund and View Farmvale, showing a pattern of scattered homesteads supported by local institutions like Beaver Creek Ch and Hofflund Sch. The rugged break-country is etched by drainage features such as Half Breed Coulee, Thorson Creek, and Nelson Creek, which lead toward the reservoir's edge.

Industrial activity is evident in the numerous scoria and gravel extractions, including a Mine and Scoria Pits near the northern boundary. Natural conservation and management areas are prominent, with the Hofflund State Game Management Area fronting the lake and a portion of the Little Missouri National Grassland visible. Landmarks like Red Mike Hill rise above Nesson Valley, providing distinct topographic orientation for this segment of the North Dakota plains.
