2014 Map of Blackwater Lake SE

About this map

Saint Andrews Cem sits on the northern bluffs overlooking the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the dramatic meeting of the Missouri River reservoir and the high prairie plateaus of central North Dakota. A structured network of section-line roads, including 60th Ave NW and 13th St NW, crisscrosses the upland, providing access to the rugged draws and points that reach into the lake. Along the southern edge of the map, the McLean and Mercer County boundary runs through the open water and into Beulah Bay, marking a significant administrative divide in the middle of the reservoir. The presence of Bia 101 indicates the proximity of tribal lands and the ongoing importance of Bureau of Indian Affairs infrastructure in managing transit across these rural stretches.
