A cultural resource reconnaissance of the right (south) bank of Lake Sakakawea in Dunn County, North Dakota, including Corps lands alongside the inundated Little Missouri River, was undertaken between July 1985 and June 1986. The area surveyed was approximately 35 square miles, and included over 190 miles of shoreline. The survey located 163 new sites and evaluated 32 previously recorded sites. The majority of the sites were classified as artifact scatters and rock cairns. Two earth-lodge villages are present in the survey area. Eagle trapping pits, prehistoric stone circles (tipi) rings), Historic Native American trunk burials and cemeteries, and various Euro-American historic sites were also represented. Sites were analyzed for locational patterns and a management plan was developed. Shoreline and badlands erosion are the major adverse effects occurring at a number of sites, several of which are considered potentially eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
