1967 Map of Twin Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the northern landscape of this survey, representing a critical era of the Missouri River Basin development project. The reservoir’s irregular shoreline is defined by deep inlets like Mandan Bay and Elbowoods Bay, marking the point where the rising waters reshaped the traditional river valley. Along the southern banks, the settlement of Twin Buttes and the Twin Buttes Public Use Area serve as focal points for local activity. The interior topography is a network of ridges and drainages like Malnourie Creek, punctuated by several family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including Crowsheart Cem, St Joseph Cem, Medicine Stone Cem, Holen Cem, and Chase Cem, often located near small rural centers like the St Joseph Ch. This map records a landscape transitioning from traditional prairie use to a managed water resource system.
