2011 Map of Rat Lake SW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the winding course of the Missouri River dominate this landscape within McKenzie County. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex, indented shoreline of the reservoir as it meets the drainage systems of Little Antelope Creek and Antelope Creek from the south and west. The map reflects a modern rural infrastructure defined by both named and numbered forest and county routes, including County Rte 6 and various numbered service roads like 882 and 875. The terrain is characterized by the stark contrast between the vast open water of the lake and the intricate coulees and breaks formed by the seasonal creek beds, providing a detailed record of the shoreline and access roads in the early 21st century.
