About this map

The Missouri River floodplain and its dramatic northern bluffs define this landscape where Williams County and McKenzie County meet. This survey shows the transition from the high, dissected plateaus of the Missouri Escarpment down to the wide, marshy bottomlands. The upland areas are marked by a modern residential and agricultural grid, with local access provided by routes like Basin Loop, Knoll Ave, and Southview Ave.

Lower elevations are dominated by the winding river channel and complex wetland patterns. A network of rural section-line roads, including 141st Ave NW and 48th St NW, provides a detailed record of land use and property access in this corner of North Dakota. The interface between the plateau and the river valley is particularly evident near the rugged drainage of Broken Horn Trl and the bluffs overlooking the river bend.
