About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates this 1967 landscape, shown at its normal pool elevation of 1838 feet. This mid-century survey illustrates the dramatic transformation of the Missouri River valley in McLean and Mercer counties following the completion of the Garrison Dam. The waters have filled Douglas Creek Bay, creating a complex shoreline that borders the Douglas Creek State Game Management Area and the Hille State Game Management Area.

Historical traces of the frontier era remain visible through the Old Fort Stevenson Military Reservation Boundary and the path of the Old Fort Stevenson Military Road. Local community and recreational life are represented by the Geminde Cem, a Bible Camp, and the Triangle Y Camp (YMCA). This record captures a specific moment when modern reservoir management and recreational planning overlaid a landscape still defined by its nineteenth-century military history.
