Underground Fire Burns for Seventy Five Years Near Missouri River
North Dakota faces a possible ending of an underground fire that has burned for about 75 years as plans for a dam on the Little Missouri River move forward. The lignite seam beneath three miles of badland, near the river bend, could be flooded by the proposed dam, ending the flame path and cratered surface. Funds totaling about ten thousand dollars from the 80th Congress and a matching state grant support surveying the area. Local legend tells of a cowboy Tex who supposedly rode into Hellish flames, but no definitive cause is known.
