About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southern landscape of this 1980s-era survey, where the rising waters of the Missouri River have filled the jagged inlets of Knife River Bay. The topography here is defined by the transition from the upland plateaus of Brookbank and Osborn down to the reservoir shoreline. Along the western edge, the Antelope Creek State Wildlife Management Area preserves the prairie habitat adjacent to the water. Further inland, the Little Knife River meanders toward the lake, cutting through a terrain marked by local landmarks like Stony Hill and numerous spring-fed coulees. The map also records the boundary line between Mountrail and McKenzie counties, tracking it through the center of the lake. Small-scale industrial activity is evident in the several scattered Gravel Pits found throughout the sections, particularly north of Rat Lake.
