The Missouri River corridor north of Bismarck is defined by its deep cultural history and strategic riverbank topography. On the eastern shore in Burleigh County, the Double Ditch Indian Village stands as a prominent landmark of early Mandan settlement, situated high above the river bends. Across the water in Morton County, the landscape is shaped by the winding courses of Square Butte Creek and Otter Creek as they descend toward the Missouri valley. The Northern Pacific railroad tracks hug the western riverbank, passing through the small settlement of Harmon. Local education and community life are marked by the distributed presence of Square Butte School No 1 and Square Butte School No 2, while the northern reaches include the area of Glenview. This survey provides a look at the rural Missouri River breaks before modern suburban expansion began to alter these historic ranching and farming lands.
