2024 Map of Sanish NW

About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River dominate the eastern reaches of this landscape on the boundary between McKenzie and Mountrail counties. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Clarks Creek and Rough Coulee, which carve through the plains toward Hunts Along Bay. This modern survey illustrates a quiet, rural area primarily served by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like BIA Rte 2 and local roads such as Sitting Crow Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several family-named burial sites that preserve the area's heritage, including Snowbird Cem, Goodbird Cem, and Matthews Cem. The intricate shoreline and varied elevations around Whitebody Coulee provide a detailed look at the contemporary topography of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation vicinity.
