1967 Map of Parshall SW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, its waters reaching into the rugged breaks of Lucky Mound Creek Bay. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map illustrates the dramatic transformation of the Missouri River valley into a massive reservoir system, where the pool elevation is recorded at 1,838 feet. Along the shoreline, the Deepwater Creek State Game Management Area preserves the transitional habitat between the water and the upland prairies.
