About this map

Cherry Creek meanders through the central terrain of this McKenzie County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding prairie. The settlement of Schafer is situated near the confluence of local tributaries, including Northfork Creek, and remains a point of interest for those tracing the development of the region's ranching economy. Large family holdings such as the H Lundin Ranch and H F Gierke III Ranch are clearly demarcated, reflecting the area's agricultural heritage.

Evidence of local community life and recreation is preserved through the inclusion of the Schafer Cemetery and the Watford City Golf Course on the western edge of the sheet. Further south, the path of Sevenmile Creek follows the corridor near County Rte 37, while Tobacco Garden Creek appears in the northern reaches, detailing a watershed that has shaped the settlement patterns of this North Dakota quadrangle.
