Lake Sakakawea dominates this landscape, where the waters of the impounded Missouri River fill the winding valleys of the northern plains. This 2011 survey captures the complex, jagged shoreline along the southern and northern reaches of the reservoir, highlighting the interaction between the modern water level and the underlying topography. On the southern shore, Red Butte Cemetery remains a significant local landmark, situated near BIA Route 22. The map also details the drainage patterns of northern tributaries like Sixmile Creek and Buffalo Rock Coulee, which cut through the high ground above the lake. A sparse network of rural roads, including 14th St NW and 89th Ave NW, provides the primary access to the peninsulas and bluffs overlooking the water.
