About this map

Lake Oahe dominates the central corridor of this North Dakota landscape, where the Missouri River forms the natural boundary between Sioux and Emmons counties. The geography is characterized by the broad, level expanse of Winona Flats to the south and the winding drainage of Beaver Creek and Little Beaver Cr to the north. These waterways cut through the prairie, creating the distinct breaks and coulees typical of the region. Local history is anchored by the Worms Lutheran Cem, a significant genealogical site situated along the western edge of Emmons County. The land is navigated by a network of rural routes and trails, including the Beaver Bay Trl and Little Beaver Creek Trl, which follow the contours of the river valley and its tributaries.
