About this map

The Missouri River and Little Missouri River carve through this western North Dakota landscape during a period of significant environmental and infrastructure change. The expansive Garrison Reservoir dominates the eastern portion of the sheet, its rising waters surrounding the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation and several Indian Service Headquarters locations. This mid-century survey documents the region just as these major water projects were altering the geography of local ranching and tribal lands.
