Lewis & Clark Trail
Mobridge South Dakota
Oahe Dam, just north of Pierre, creates Oahe Lake out of the Missouri River, The lake reaches north almost to Bismark North Dakota. All of the Arikara village and L & C sites are submerged. About half way up the lake, the town of Mobridge reveals an interesting history through a cast iron map. Within a 30mi radius many historical events happened - see the close view, bottom right. The half round black icons are Arikara village sites. The Corps spent Oct 8-12 here. Top right, location of Sitting Bull grave and Sacagawea monument across the Missouri from Mobridge.
