About this map

Williston sits at a geographic crossroads in the northwestern plains, where the Little Muddy River and Stony Cr converge before entering the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea. This early twenty-first-century view of Williams County captures the city during a period of modern expansion, showing the established grid of the urban core alongside the developing residential and industrial corridors of the east side. Educational and civic landmarks like Williston State Coll and the Hillside Memory Gardens provide anchor points for local researchers and genealogists.

The surrounding terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, notably the distinctively named Chinaman Coulee and Crazy Man Coulee, which cut through the landscape toward the river basin. Beyond the city center, the small settlement of Avoca and the Wright Field Airport illustrate the infrastructure supporting the region. The map also delineates the Williams Co and McKenzie Co boundary as it follows the path of the river and reservoir.
