About this map

The Missouri River breaks and the waters of Lake Sakakawea dominate this North Dakota landscape where the Williams Co and Mckenzie Co line meets. In the southwestern reaches of the sheet, the Yellowstone Point Cem sits as a lonely landmark within the intricate terrain of the badlands. The area's geography is defined by a series of deep coulees and draws that move toward the river valley, a topography that has historically dictated the winding paths of rural routes like Co Rd 16 and 147th Rd NW. This section of the Missouri valley shows the modern extent of the reservoir, contrasted with the traditional township and range grid system that continues to organize the surrounding upland territory.
