About this map

Fort Rice and the tiny settlement of Livona occupy the banks of the Missouri River in this riverine landscape south of Bismarck. The area is defined by the expansive waters of Lake Oahe, which fills the valley floor and forms Badger Bay near the southern boundary. Steep breaks and coulees rise from the shoreline, leading to prominent landmarks like Potato Hill and Corner Butte.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of the area's heritage at Saint Marys Cem and the Fort Rice Cem, both situated near the historic site of the fort itself. The modern Roughrider Trail follows the river corridor, tracing a path through the rolling terrain above the water. Transport in the region is further evidenced by the Schirmeister Private Airport and a network of rural routes connecting the highlands to the Missouri River valley.
