About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the northern landscape of this Mercer County region, its rising waters shaping the inlets of Renner Bay and Beulah Bay. The shoreline and surrounding uplands are largely defined by conservation efforts, including the Hille State Game Management Area and the Beaver Creek State Game Management Area, illustrating the transition of the Missouri River valley into a managed reservoir system.

Away from the water, the survey records the rural character of the high plains just south of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation boundary. Genealogists can locate several small, isolated burial sites including Kronthal Cem, Koehler Cem, and Peace Cem, which mark the presence of local farming communities amidst the coulees. In the south, small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and the winding course of Antelope Creek, while the McLean Co Mercer Co Boundary crosses the open water of the lake to the north.
