2014 Map of New Town SW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates this landscape where the Missouri River has been transformed into a massive reservoir. The shoreline follows a complex, indented path around the Van Hook Arm, revealing the submerged topography of the river valley. Inland, the high plains are dissected by smaller drainages such as Little Shell Cr, which feeds into the larger lake body. The map highlights a rural grid of section roads like 89th Ave NW and 31st St NW, illustrating the agricultural layout of the region. This 2014 survey also shows the junction of three North Dakota counties—Mountrail, McLean, and Dunn—meeting near the southern reaches of the reservoir. Cultural markers such as Bia 602 indicate the administrative presence of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in this part of the state.
