2014 Map of Mandaree SW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern landscape of this 2014 survey, marking the confluence of the Little Missouri River and several secondary drainages. This high-plains terrain is deeply incised by watercourses, with Moccasin Cr and Jim Creek carving through the elevation to reach the reservoir. The topography reflects the dramatic badlands character of North Dakota's western reaches, where the winding river valley met the rising waters of the mid-20th century impoundment. Human infrastructure is concentrated along the western edge, primarily represented by ND-22 and local access routes like 10th St NW. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of the lake as it fingers into various coulees, including Dry Cr, providing a detailed look at the interface between the prairie uplands and the Missouri River system.
