About this map

The Missouri River corridor in McKenzie County is captured here at a moment of transition, showing the controlled inundation areas surrounding the northern reaches of Lake Sakakawea. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the broad river bottomlands and the dissected uplands of Wilbur, Stony Creek, and Poe. An indefinite boundary marks the shifting path of the river, which serves as the dividing line between Williams and McKenzie counties. Significant for its recreational and environmental detail, the sheet identifies the Indian Creek Bay Recreation Area along the western shore. The map also traces the winding courses of Indian Creek and Willow Creek as they approach the Missouri, providing essential data on the local drainage patterns and topography prior to further shifts in the reservoir's levels.
