About this map

The Missouri River forms the dominant corridor through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a county boundary between Oliver, McLean, and Burleigh. Along its western bank, the small settlement of Sanger sits adjacent to the Northern Pacific railroad line, while the Soo Line traverses the northern section near the Merida siding. The terrain is defined by a complex network of backwaters and seasonal lakes, including Painted Woods Lake, Wildwood Lake, and Beaver Lake, which reflect the river's historical meanders across the floodplain. Conservation and recreation areas are well-established, with the National Wildlife Refuge protecting the northern marshes and Molander State Park situated at the southern edge. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and the extensive Painted Woods forest highlight a balance between industrial resource extraction and the preservation of the river's natural riparian environment.
