About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates this Missouri River Basin landscape, reflecting the significant geographic changes following the completion of the Garrison Dam. The settlement of Sanish sits along the northern shores of Sanish Bay, adjacent to the Soo Line railroad. This survey captures a moment when the regional infrastructure was adapting to the new reservoir, highlighted by the Four Bears Memorial Bridge crossing the water toward the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation Boundary.

Local history is preserved through sites like the Crow Flies High Butte Historic Site and the Riverview Cemetery. The map also details early recreation and conservation efforts, including Four Bears State Park and the Antelope Creek State Game Management Area. Further inland, rural landmarks such as Grand Valley Ch and a local Townhall provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Mountrail County.
