2014 Map of Fort Rice

About this map

The Missouri River serves as the central artery and county boundary between Morton and Emmons in this North Dakota landscape, where the expansive waters of Lake Oahe dominate the valley floor. On the western bank, the small settlement of Fort Rice stands near a concentration of local heritage sites, including the Ft Rice Cem and the Ft Rice Military Cem, which reflect the area's deep-rooted frontier history. Across the river to the southeast, the locality of Livona marks the shoreline near Badger Bay. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Litzman Ponds and Carlson Lake to prominent elevation points such as Potato Hill and Corner Butte. Infrastructure is sparse, defined primarily by local routes like Fort Rice Boat Dock Rd and the presence of the Schirmeister Private Airport, suggesting a landscape shaped by rural navigation and seasonal river access.
