2020 Map of Blackwater Lake SE

About this map

The vast expanse of Lake Sakakawea and the winding Missouri River define the southern landscape of this 2020 North Dakota survey. Situated along the boundary of McLean and Mercer Counties, the map documents a terrain carved by water and organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t147n r88w and t148n r87w overlaying the high plains. For the genealogist or local historian, the map identifies several significant burial sites positioned near the shoreline and along the section roads, including Saint Pauls Church Cem, Sacred Heart Catholic Cem, and Saint Andrews Cem. The presence of Bia Rd 1 and various numbered section roads like 12th St NW shows the modern transportation network that services the rural homesteads and shorelines of Beulah Bay and the surrounding prairie bluffs.
