About this map

Apple Creek meanders across this Burleigh County landscape, serving as a central geographical feature for a region defined by its rural townships and early mid-century infrastructure. The Northern Pacific railroad cuts through the southern half of the quadrangle, anchoring the settlement of Menoken (Burleigh Sta). To the west, the presence of the State Penitentiary and the Bismarck Municipal Airport marks the transition into the outskirts of the state capital.

Genealogists and local historians will find a well-distributed network of educational and religious sites, including several numbered schoolhouses like School No 1 and School No 8, along with the St Hildegard Ch and the Swedish Cem. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive landmarks such as Solberg Butte and Keeler Butte, while leisure and media are represented by the Country Club and the Radio Tower (KFYR).
