Fort Clark Trading Post (far left center)
Fort Clark Trading Post (far left center) was built on the Missouri River by James Kipp, an employee of American Fur Company, 1830-31. Kipp sited it just south of a Mandan Indian winter village (dimed buildings right of Fort Clark), hoping to engage the Native Americans in the fur trade.
