2011 Map of Sanish SE

About this map

Lake Sakakawea dominates the landscape south of New Town, where the impounded waters of the Missouri River expand across the valley floor. This 2011 survey illustrates the high water marks and intricate shoreline typical of this reservoir, showing how the flooding transformed the local geography. To the northwest, the terrain transitions into a grid of agricultural and access roads, including 92nd Ave NW and 31st St NW. Significant natural drainages like Horse Camp Coulee and Little Shell Creek provide a look at the original topography that remains above the current waterline. The map also traces the path of Bia 801, indicating the infrastructure supporting the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation area during this period of the early 21st century.
