About this map

The Missouri River defines the geography of this mid-1960s survey, acting as the boundary between Oliver and Burleigh counties. Along its western bank, the Northern Pacific railroad tracks parallel the water, connecting the small settlement of Price and its associated Price Sch to the wider region. The landscape transitions from the river's floodplain into a series of distinctive geological formations, most notably the Square Buttes, Horseshoe Butte, and Stonehouse Butte.

Evidence of the area's rural development is seen in the scattered infrastructure, including School No 3 and Molander State Park near the northern edge. Natural features like Sherk Creek and the forested expanse of Painted Woods suggest a terrain that remained largely defined by its topography and water access. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of land use and small-town Missouri River life during the mid-20th century.
