About this map

The Missouri River corridor in Oliver County defines this landscape, where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks parallel the western bank through the small settlement of Price. The map captures a moment in the mid-1970s following photogrammetric revisions, showing the intersection of historical preservation and rural infrastructure. The Molander Historic Site sits near the northern edge, marking an area of cultural significance just west of the river.

Upland from the fertile river bottom, the topography is punctuated by prominent landforms such as Horseshoe Butte, Stonehouse Butte, and the expansive Square Buttes. These elevations overlook a network of rural schools, including Price Sch and School No 3, which served the scattered farmsteads. The transition from the river plains to the higher Painted Woods region reflects the complex drainage patterns of Sherk Creek as it moves toward the Missouri.
