Lake Sakakawea and the winding course of the Little Missouri River dominate this landscape on the boundary of McLean and Dunn counties. The topography is defined by the intricate finger-like inlets of McKenzie Bay, Water Chief Bay, and Bear Creek Bay, which reach into the surrounding high ground. This area, part of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, contains several distinct local landmarks such as Old Man Dancing Butte and the broad expanses of Hay Flat and Mower Machine Flat. The settlement pattern is sparse, with transportation limited to routes like BIA Rte 22 and BIA Rte 223. Cultural history is noted at the Lincoln Memorial Cem, while the drainage system is mapped through features like E Fork Bear Cr and Sagebrush Coulee.
