Lake Sakakawea dominates this landscape where the Missouri River has been transformed into a massive reservoir, marking the border between Mountrail and Dunn counties. The intricate shoreline is defined by numerous inlets and bays, including Drags Wolf Bay, which reflect the inundated topography of the Missouri breaks. To the north, a system of section-line roads such as 31st St NW and 30th St NW overlays the high plains, while drainage features like Little Shell Cr and Horse Camp Coulee carve through the breaks toward the water's edge. This map documents the modern contours of the Missouri River valley, showing how the river's original path is now subsumed within the broader expanse of the lake.
