2018 Map of Blackwater Lake SE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern half of this landscape, its expansive waters defining the complex shoreline of North Dakota's prairie country. On the bluffs overlooking the water, Saint Andrews Cem stands as a quiet marker of the area's local heritage, situated just north of the lake's northern reaches. The terrain is characterized by the structured grid of rural section lines, including 14th St NW and Bia Rd 1, which navigate the undulating breaks leading down to the water. To the southeast, Beulah Bay creates a sheltered inlet where the land meets the reservoir at the junction of the McLean Co and Mercer Co line. This 2018 survey illustrates the intersection of modern infrastructure and the massive Missouri River impoundment, preserving the names of the local roads and sacred sites that remain above the waterline.
