About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the northern reaches of this landscape in McKenzie County, where the sprawling reservoir meets the drainage networks of the northern plains. This 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by its water and ranching heritage, with prominent drainage systems like Tobacco Garden Creek and Sand Creek carving through the terrain toward the lake shore. These waterways are essential features of the local geography, anchoring the land between the high plateaus and the Missouri River basin's vast waters.

Agricultural and ranching footprints are preserved through labels for the D Roehm Ranch and Sorenson Ranch, providing specific locations for family history and land-use research. The transportation network is anchored by State Hwy 1806 and County Rd 43, which navigate the draws and rises near Grantier Creek and Bartall Creek. This map serves as a clear record of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns in the Williston Basin region.
