About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the northern landscape of this Mercer County region, its irregular shoreline carving deep into the prairie. The map documents the northern edge of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the intersection of tribal lands and state-managed territory such as the Beaver Creek State Game Management Area. This confluence of jurisdictions reflects the complex land management patterns common in mid-century North Dakota.

Away from the water, the terrain is defined by drainage systems like West Branch Antelope Creek and Beaver Creek. Cultural markers for genealogists and local historians are sparse but significant, including the St Johannes Cem and Neusatz Cem, which stand as solitary landmarks in the rural sections. Evidence of local industry is visible in scattered Gravel Pits, supporting the rural road network that spans the hills south of the reservoir.
