1967 Map of Parshall SW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the western and southern landscape of this 1967 survey, its shoreline defining the contours of Lucky Mound Creek Bay. The map reveals a transitional period for the Missouri River Basin, documenting the reservoir at a normal pool elevation of 1838 feet. Stretching across the north, the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation Boundary separates the tribal lands from the townships of Fertile and Banner. Evidence of local governance and land management is visible through the small Townhall in the north and the Deepwater Creek State Game Management Area along the southern water's edge. The rugged breaks leading down to the water contrast with the organized grid of section lines that define the agricultural uplands of Loquemont in the southeast.
