About this map

Lake Sakakawea and its intricate northern shoreline dominate this portion of the Missouri River reservoir system in Mercer County. The topography is defined by the deep indentations of Beulah Bay and Expansion Bay, where the water meets the high plains of North Dakota. South of the water, a geometric grid of rural roads such as ND-1806 and CR-9 organizes the landscape into vast agricultural blocks.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites across this rural expanse. Established cemeteries like Immanuel Cem, Weiderich Cem, Saint Martin Cem, Link Cem, and Bethel Cem serve as long-standing markers of the homesteading families who settled this region. The southern edge of the survey is drained by Antelope Cr, providing a contrast between the engineered reservoir to the north and the natural drainage patterns of the prairie.
