About this map

Bismarck expands eastward into the prairie in this early 21st-century survey, showing the transition from established city blocks to emerging residential developments. The eastern suburbs are characterized by pockets of growth like Hillcrest Acres and the town of Lincoln, which sits south of the winding Apple Creek. This drainage system, along with Hay Creek, dominates the local topography, punctuated by water management features such as McDowell Dam and Yegen Dam.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Fairview Cemetery on the northern edge of the city, while researchers of rural Burleigh County can trace the network of section-line roads and named drives like Rolling Ridge Rd and Centennial Rd. The map also captures smaller named localities like Pierce, providing a detailed look at the suburban and rural interface of the North Dakota capital region during a period of modern expansion.
