About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern portion of this landscape, formed by the impoundment of the Missouri River. The shoreline reflects a complex geography where the river valley met the high plains, creating a rugged interface of inlets and coulees. Moving north, the terrain is defined by the drainage of the White Earth River and Alkali Creek, which cut through the prairie and reveal the underlying topography of the Williston Basin. This area sits at the junction of several county lines, including Williams, Mountrail, and McKenzie counties. A network of rural section roads and corridors like the Old Senic Hwy and Beaver Rd provide access through the townships of t155n r95w and t154n r94w, illustrating the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System in this part of North Dakota.
