About this map

The Missouri River and the massive reservoir of Lake Sakakawea dominate this mid-century landscape along the border of McLean and Mercer Counties. This survey documents the area shortly after the Garrison Dam’s completion, showing the normal pool elevation 1838 and the resulting complex shoreline of inlets like Good Bear Bay. Inland, the terrain is characterized by prairie coulees and high points such as Buffalo Rock, which overlooks Sixmile Creek. Local history and land use are evidenced by the Red Butte Cem and the Beaver Creek State Game Management Area. The map identifies emerging recreational spaces including the Red Butte Bay Public Use Area and Twin Buttes Public Use Area, reflecting the region's shift toward water-based conservation and public access following the valley's inundation.
