2024 Map of Emmet SE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River dominate this modern landscape where the borders of McLean and Mercer counties meet in the center of the water. The intricate shoreline of Douglas Creek Bay defines the northern reaches, shaped by the rising waters of the mid-20th century that transformed the Missouri River valley into a vast reservoir. To the south, the terrain rises into the uplands where local history is preserved at the Luther Geminde Cem and Miller Cem. The map illustrates a rural network of roads such as Co Hwy 11 and Co Hwy 6 that connect the high ground above the flooded breaks, providing a clear view of how modern topography has been permanently altered by the Garrison Dam project downstream.
