About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the southeastern portion of this map, its shoreline forming deep inlets like Hunts Along Bay. This landscape is defined by the high bluffs overlooking the Missouri River, where the McKenzie Co Mountrail Co boundary follows the modern waterway. The upland areas are marked by a network of drainage systems including Antelope Cr and Clarks Cr, along with distinct topographical features such as Rough Coulee and Whitebody Coulee. Local history is centered on the small family and community burial grounds located north of the lake, including Goodbird Cem, Snowbird Cem, and Matthews Cem. These sites, along with names like Sitting Crow Rd, reflect the cultural heritage of the Fort Berthold area. The map illustrates the contemporary road network, including BIA Rte 2 and Lake Sakakawea Rd, providing access to the rugged Missouri River breaks.
