The Missouri River corridor north of Bismarck is defined here by the sharp contrast between the fertile river bottomlands and the rugged breaks of the Missouri Plateau. Along the western bank, the Northern Pacific railroad tracks hug the base of the bluffs, passing through the small community of Harmon and the surrounding agricultural landscape. This 1962 survey documents the rural educational infrastructure of Morton Co with sites like Square Butte School No 1 and Square Butte School No 2 still prominent on the landscape. Across the water in Burleigh Co, the Double Ditch Indian Village marks a significant archaeological site overlooking the river, situated near Glenview and the recreational grounds of Eagles Park. The drainage patterns of Square Butte Creek and Otter Creek illustrate the historical erosion that shaped this section of the Missouri valley.
