2018 Map of Blackwater Lake SW
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Lake Sakakawea dominates this landscape on the border of Mercer and McLean counties, where the Missouri River valley was transformed into a massive reservoir. The intricate shoreline of the lake reaches north into Nishu Bay and follows the winding path of Sixmile Cr. On the southern uplands near the county boundary, the Beaver Creek Cem remains a localized historical marker amidst a grid of rural section roads like 12th St NW and 65th Ave NW. This survey reflects the modern configuration of the reservoir, illustrating how the rising waters redefined the regional geography and isolated formerly contiguous landforms into peninsulas and deep-water inlets.
