About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates this 2011 survey, illustrating the complex geography where the Missouri River flows into the vast reservoir on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The settlement of Four Bears Village sits prominently on the western shore, connected to the mainland via the Four Bears Memorial Bridge. This infrastructure is central to the area's modern identity, providing a vital link across the water.

Further east, the town of Sanish is situated near the northern banks, with the Riverview Cemetery positioned on higher ground overlooking the lake. The map details a transition from the structured grid of rural roads like 2nd St NW and 40th St NW to the dramatic, indented shoreline of the lake. Local landmarks such as the Church Camp and residential reaches like Bakersfield Dr provide specific points of interest for those studying the social and physical landscape of Mountrail County in the early 21st century.
