2011 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its expansive waters filling the valley where the Missouri River once carved a narrower path. Along the complex southern shoreline, the community of Twin Buttes serves as a focal point for a network of rural roads, including BIA Route 22 and County Rd-1. The map reveals a deeply rooted local history through its preservation of several family and community burial grounds. Crowsheart Cemetery overlooks the water from a northern point, while Medicine Stone Cemetery, Chase Cemetery, and Holen Cemetery are situated further inland. These sites, along with the winding course of Malnourie Creek, provide a detailed geography of this portion of the Fort Berthold Reservation area during the early 21st century.
