About this map

String Buttes and the surrounding high plains of Dunn County are defined by a network of seasonal drainages and isolated landforms rising above the Missouri River plateau. This 2014 survey captures the intricate shoreline of Skunk Creek Bay, an inlet of Lake Sakakawea that dominates the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The drainage systems of Skunk Cr and the S Fork Skunk Cr carve through the landscape, illustrating the erosion patterns that characterize this part of the Fort Berthold Reservation.

Transportation throughout this sparsely settled region is facilitated by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-10 and BIA Route 21, which connect the open range and high points like Two Shields Butte and Heart Butte. The map serves as a detailed record of local roads such as 22U St NW and 86P Ave NW, providing essential data for those tracing the modern infrastructure across this historic tribal land.
