About this map

The Missouri River meanders through this portion of North Dakota, serving as the primary geographic and industrial axis between McLean and Mercer counties. This 1967 survey, with revisions from 1980, documents a landscape where significant archaeological and frontier history meets modern energy infrastructure. The map prominently features the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, Fort Mandan Historic Site, and Fort Clark Historic Site, preserving the heritage of native settlement and early exploration.

Industrial development is visible through a large powerplant complex with its associated substation, Settling Pond, and ponds, illustrating the late 20th-century reliance on river water for energy production. Genealogists will find interest in localized burial grounds such as Basto Cem, Alderin Cem, and Deapolis Cem near Alderin Creek. The presence of the Burlington Northern railroad and numerous gravel pits further emphasizes the region's transport and extractive economy during this era.
