2024 Map of New Town SW

About this map

Missouri River watercourses and the sprawling reach of Lake Sakakawea dominate this landscape on the borders of Mountrail, McLean, and Dunn counties. The map focuses on a transitional terrain where the river's path has been transformed into the expansive reservoir, including the Van Hook Arm to the northeast. Inland from the water, the survey details a rural network of section lines and local roads such as Bia RD 601 and Bia RD 602, illustrating the agricultural and tribal land divisions typical of this region of North Dakota. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Little Shell Church and an adjacent Cem near Little Shell Creek provides a specific point of interest for tracing community roots and rural settlement patterns in the early 21st century.
