1971 Map of Fort Rice

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Fort Rice serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated along the western banks of the Missouri River where the Emmons and Morton County boundary meets the water. The map documents a period of significant hydrological transition, with the expansion of Lake Oahe at an elevation of 1608 feet, which flooded the river valley and altered the historical shoreline. Traces of the region's frontier past are evident in the Fort Rice Military Cem and the Fort Rice Historical Site, located within the Fort Rice Military Reservation Boundary. On the eastern shore, the small settlement of Livona and the Schiermeister Landing Strip sit near the jagged terrain of Devils Gulch. An Old Railroad Grade runs parallel to the western bank, marking a decommissioned transportation corridor that once followed the river's path through this Dakota territory.
