2018 Map of New Town SE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the Van Hook Arm dominate this landscape, reflecting the modern geography of the Missouri River valley in western North Dakota. The map illustrates the contemporary shoreline of the reservoir, highlighting significant hydrological features like Lucky Mound Creek Bay and Independence Point. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the complex county boundaries that converge within the water, where Mountrail, McLean, and Dunn counties meet. While largely defined by its aquatic expanse, the land areas show the path of Bia Rd 13 and the underlying Public Land Survey System grid, which continues to organize the rural territory surrounding the lake. It is a precise record of the regional topography and jurisdictional lines in the early 21st century.
