2018 Map of Garrison Dam South

About this map

Riverdale and the massive infrastructure of the Garrison Dam anchor this landscape along the Missouri River in the late 2010s. The map illustrates a complex intersection of federal conservation and historical preservation, featuring the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery alongside the Garrison Dam Recreational Airpark. Downstream, the border between Mercer and McLean counties follows the river's path toward the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site. To the west, the terrain rises into coulees and draws drained by Elm Cr and Raymond Cr. Local genealogy and land use are marked by sites like Saint Pauls Cem, situated among a network of rural routes such as Co Rd 28 and Main St. The survey captures the contrast between the engineered shoreline of Lake Sakakawea and the traditional section-line agriculture of the surrounding North Dakota plains.
