About this map

The Missouri River serves as the central artery dividing Bismarck and Mandan, shaping the infrastructure and layout of North Dakota's capital region. The landscape is marked by significant commemorative sites, including the Fort Lincoln Military Cem and the North Dakota Veterans Cem south of Mandan, alongside the Sunset Memorial Gardens and Saint Mary's Cem on the Bismarck side. This 2020 layout illustrates the modern expansion of these twin cities, connected by the Memorial Bridge and a network of interstate and state highways.

Waterways like the Heart River and Beaver Cr flow into the Missouri, defining the low-lying areas south of the urban centers. On the eastern side of the river, the Bismarck Municipal Airport occupies a large tract of land, highlighting the city's role as a regional transportation hub. Residential development is evidenced by numerous named drives and loops such as Wilderness Cove Rd and Jetty Beach Dr S, reflecting the continued growth along the river's banks and the tributary of Burnt Cr.
