2011 Map of Rat Lake SE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern reaches of this landscape in western North Dakota, where its expansive waters meet the course of the Missouri River. The shoreline is marked by a complex network of inlets and peninsulas, characteristic of the reservoir's geography. Flowing from the north, the Little Knife River winds through the rural terrain before emptying into the lake's northern bays. The map reflects a structured grid of rural infrastructure, defined by secondary routes such as 42nd St NW and 90th Ave NW. This area shows the intersection of major hydrologic features and the high plains road system, serving as a record of the region’s topography in the early twenty-first century.
