2020 Map of Saddle Butte SW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates this landscape in the Missouri River basin, creating a jagged shoreline defined by numerous arms and inlets. The complex hydrology of the reservoir is visible through deeply recessed features like Charging Eagle Bay and Moccasin Creek Bay, which reach far into the surrounding high ground. The terrain is characterized by traditional Great Plains landforms, including the prominent String Buttes to the north and various drainage channels such as Ash Coulee and Sagebrush Coulee. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the Fort Berthold area, where Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia RD 17 and Bia Rte 223 provide the primary access through the broken topography of Dunn County.
