1972 Map of Sather Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Horse Creek and its many tributaries carve a complex drainage pattern across this McKenzie County landscape in the early 1970s. The water network, featuring Johntown Creek, Alkali Creek, and the West Branch Charbonneau Creek, dictates the placement of early infrastructure and ranch-related landmarks. A significant human-made addition is the dam and spillway forming Sather Lake, which serves as the centerpiece for the Sather Lake Recreation Area. Genealogy interests are served by the isolated Highland Cem located on a high plateau, while topographic landmarks like Sheep Butte and Vanderhoof Coulee provide distinct reference points for those tracing historical land use in this part of North Dakota.
