1969 Map of Beulah NW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the northern landscape of this Mercer County region, its winding shoreline and Beaver Creek Bay defining the topography of the late 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the expansive water of the reservoir meets the rugged Missouri River breaks. Cultural history is anchored by the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation Boundary and small rural sites like St Johannes Cem and Neusatz Cem, which reflect the early settlement patterns of the area. Significant portions of the land are dedicated to conservation, notably the Beaver Creek State Game Management Area. The interior terrain is marked by intermittent drainages like Beaver Creek and occasional industrial activity represented by several Gravel Pits, showcasing the balance between public land management and local resource extraction.
