2017 Map of Williston East

About this map

The Williston city limits extend across the Missouri River plateau in this 2017 study, where the northern edges of Lake Sakakawea meet the winding course of the Little Muddy River. The map illustrates a landscape of deep coulees and intermittent drainage, characterized by features like Chinaman Coulee and Crazy Man Coulee that cut through the rolling topography of Williams County. Local institutions and landmarks are clearly identified, including the Williston State Coll campus and the Hillside Memory Gardens Cem on the eastern edge of the city. To the east, the small settlement of Avoca sits near the confluence of Stony Cr and the river. This documentation reveals the intersection of urban growth and the natural hydrology of the plains, showing a dense network of local roads such as E Broadway and Riverside Dr that facilitate travel along the water's edge.
