2024 Map of Blackwater Lake SE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the inundated valley of the Missouri River meets the rolling upland plateaus of North Dakota. The map captures the quiet, rural character of the region, marked by a precise grid of sectional roads like 59th Ave NW and 14th St NW that define the agricultural landscape. For those researching local family histories, several vital landmarks are preserved on the sheet, including Saint Pauls Church Cem in the northwest and Sacred Heart Catholic Cem further south. Near the shoreline, Saint Andrews Cem overlooks the water, while the southeast corner opens into the recreational waters of Beulah Bay. The boundary between McLean and Mercer Counties is traced directly through the Missouri River channel, reflecting the geopolitical organization of the modern prairie.
