About this map

Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River dominate the landscape at the boundary of Mountrail and Dunn counties. This area of the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation is characterized by the intricate shoreline of Drags Wolf Bay and the deep incisions of Horse Camp Coulee. On the northern bluffs, the Holy Family U. S. Scouts Cem stands as a significant cultural landmark near BIA Rd 601. The geography reveals a transition from the high prairie flats, marked by a systematic grid of section roads like 92nd Ave NW, to the complex, eroded terrain of the river breaks. The presence of Little Shell Creek in the northeast highlights the drainage patterns that feed into the massive reservoir system created by mid-century damming projects downstream.
