2020 Map of New Town SE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates this landscape on the Missouri River, where the flooded valley creates a complex shoreline of points and bays. The map documents the vast expanse of the Van Hook Arm and the Missouri River channel as it winds through western North Dakota. Notable shoreline features include Independence Point and Lucky Mound Creek Bay, which mark the high-water margins of the reservoir. A singular roadway, BIA Rd 13, provides access to the southern reaches of the quadrangle near the boundary between Dunn and McLean counties. The map reflects a modern topography where the river's original path is largely submerged, leaving only the high ridges and bluffs as identifiable landmarks along the water's edge.
