About this map

The northwest corner of North Dakota meets the Canadian border in this detailed study of Williams, Divide, Burke, and Ward Counties. The Missouri River's transformation is evident in the sprawling waters of Lake Sakakawea, while the northern plains are defined by the extensive wetland complexes of the Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge and Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge. Cold War military presence is anchored by the Fortuna Air Force Station near the border, overlooking a landscape of prairie potholes and numerous small lakes like Skermo Lake and Bright Water Lake.
