About this map

Mandaree serves as the primary settlement in this Western North Dakota landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 22 N and Bia-12. The geography is defined by the deep indentations of Lake Sakakawea, most notably at Bear Den Bay, where the Missouri River forms the border between McKenzie and Mountrail counties. The surrounding terrain is a complex network of erosional features, including Rough Coulee, Whitebody Coulee, and Horse Camp Coulee. These drainage patterns illustrate the rugged breaks leading down to the river valley. Landmarks like Blue Butte provide vertical relief in an area where local infrastructure, such as 25th St NW and 31st St NW, navigates the winding draws of Writing Rock Coulee and Foreman Coulee.
