About this map

The Missouri River serves as the primary geographic corridor through this section of central North Dakota, defining the borders between Oliver, McLean, and Burleigh Counties. The landscape is characterized by its complex river bottomlands and oxbow formations, most notably Painted Woods Lake and the smaller Beaver Lake. The settlement of Sanger is situated on the western bank in Oliver County, while the eastern side of the river features a network of secondary roads and local routes like ND-1804 and ND-83 that navigate the bluffs and coulees.

Genealogists and local historians can find points of interest such as the Wing Cem located inland from the river, and the small settlement of Merida to the north. The drainage patterns of Painted Woods Cr, Goose Cr, and Yanktonai Cr illustrate the hydrological relationship between the Missouri River and its surrounding plateau, providing a clear record of the region's physical geography in the early 21st century.
