2018 Map of New Town SW

About this map

Missouri River water levels define the geography of this Western North Dakota landscape, where the massive reservoir of Lake Sakakawea meets the drainages of the Missouri Plateau. The map captures a critical intersection of Mountrail, McLean, and Dunn counties, dominated by the reaching waters of the Van Hook Arm and the winding course of Little Shell Cr. A key landmark for local history is the Little Shell Church Cem, situated near the center of the sheet along 89th Ave NW. This area reflects the modern configuration of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, evidenced by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia RD 601 and Bia RD 602. The upland terrain is dotted with small water bodies such as Muskrat Lake, surrounded by a grid of section lines and local roads that serve the rural agricultural and tribal lands.
