1997 Map of Schafer

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Schafer sits at a geographic crossroads in McKenzie County, documented here just before the turn of the millennium. This landscape is defined by the winding course of Cherry Creek and its tributary, Northfork Cherry Creek, which carve through the high plains. The area shows a distinct contrast between the managed wilderness of the Little Missouri National Grassland in the southeast and the infrastructure supporting nearby development, including a Pipeline network and 4wd trails. Local history is anchored at the Schafer Cem, while the western edge of the map captures the community's modern footprint with the Watford City Municipal Airport and the Watford City Golf Course. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits located south of the main settlement. The northern reaches are marked by the presence of Tobacco Garden and Sevenmile Creek, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the North Dakota badlands.
