About this map

The Missouri River serves as the dominant boundary between Oliver and Burleigh Counties in this topographic study. The settlement of Price sits near the riverbank, surrounded by a distinct series of geological formations including Horseshoe Butte, Stonehouse Butte, and the prominent Square Buttes. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river bottomlands to these high western plateaus, which rise significantly above the surrounding plains.

Genealogists will find the Hillview Cemetery positioned on the high ground south of Price, while further downstream on the eastern bank lies Wogansport. The map details the rural infrastructure of the era, from the winding path of River Road following the water to the grid of section lines like 22nd St SW and 25th St SW. The drainage of Sherk Creek cuts through the western hills, illustrating the natural erosion patterns that have shaped these river bluffs.
