About this map

The Missouri River dominates this landscape along the border of Williams and McKenzie Counties, carving through the northwestern plains. In the late 1970s, the river valley reveals a complex interplay of natural drainage and human infrastructure, featuring multiple Gaging Stations to monitor the waterway. The Burlington Northern railroad tracks parallel the river's course, supporting the transport needs of a region defined by agricultural townships like Wilbur, Elk, and Foe. Evidence of the area's pioneer and military history is preserved through the Old Military Reservation Boundary, which cuts across the terrain south of the river. Small community landmarks such as Rosseland Ch and the Radio Towers (KEZY) serve as anchors for the rural population in Judson and Trenton townships during this era.
