About this map

The waters of Lake Sakakawea dominate this western North Dakota landscape, where the submerged channel of the Missouri River defines the boundary between McLean and Mercer counties. This modern topographic record captures the intricate shoreline of the reservoir, highlighting significant inlets like Good Bear Bay to the north and Red Butte Bay to the south. Inland from these waters, the terrain is marked by a network of rural roads such as 71st Ave NW and Bia-22, which provide access to the high ground above the coulees. Of particular interest to local historians is the Red Butte Cemetery, situated on the southern shore near the bay that shares its name. The presence of Sixmile Creek and Buffalo Rock Coulee further illustrates the drainage patterns that shaped this Missouri River valley region before and after the creation of the lake.
