1967 Map of Emmet SE

About this map

The Missouri River corridor in McLean and Mercer Counties is defined here by the massive waters of Lake Sakakawea following the mid-century development of the Missouri River Basin. This survey documents a landscape of public lands and conservation efforts, including the Douglas Creek State Game Management Area and Hille State Game Management Area. The map captures the legacy of the western frontier through the Old Fort Stevenson Military Reservation Boundary, while showing the mid-1960s social landscape at Triangle Y Camp and a nearby Bible Camp. Genealogists may find the Geminde Cem and another uncaptioned Cem useful for family research in this sparsely populated region. The shoreline is highly articulated by the flooding of Douglas Creek and its branches, creating the prominent Douglas Creek Bay.
