The Missouri River and the expansive waters of Lake Sakakawea dominate this western North Dakota landscape, marking the boundary between Mountrail and Dunn counties. This 2020 survey captures the complex shoreline where the reservoir meets the rugged prairie, featuring prominent inlets such as Drags Wolf Bay and the drainage of Horse Camp Coulee. The terrain is characterized by intricate contouring along the river breaks, showing a network of rural routes including BIA Rd 601 and various township roads like 31st St. A significant site for local heritage is the Holy Family U. S. Scouts Cem, situated near the eastern edge of the map. Other natural drainages like Little Shell Cr cut through the northern sections, illustrating the hydrologic patterns that define this segment of the Missouri River valley.
