2017 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the winding Missouri River define this landscape, where several large inlets like Mandan Bay and Medicine Stone Bay cut deep into the prairie. The settlement of Twin Buttes sits at a crossroads of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including BIA Rte 22 and BIA Rte 20. For family historians, this 2017 survey is particularly valuable for identifying small, localized burial grounds across the terrain, such as Crowsheart Cem, Medicine Stone Cem, Chase Cem, and Holen Cem. The transport infrastructure is characterized by a mix of local connectors and ranching facilities, most notably the Fredericks Ranch Airport and the seasonal flow of Mulhourie Cr through the southern sections.
