About this map

The Missouri River carves a sweeping path through this 2017 landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Burleigh and Morton counties. The river valley is defined by broad floodplains such as Apple Creek Bottom and Schmidt Bottom, which contrast with the higher, dissected terrain to the west. Institutional landmarks are concentrated on the eastern bluffs overlooking the river, including the Univ of Mary campus and the adjacent Annunciation Monastery. Nearby, the Lt. Beaver Masonic Memorial Cem sits near the bend where Apple Creek meets the main channel.

Transportation through the river corridor is facilitated by the Roughrider Trail, which parallels the waterway near the small community of Schmidt. To the south, the Little Heart River enters from the west, contributing to the complex hydrology of Lake Oahe. The map details a transition from academic and religious sites on the heights to the alluvial flats and recreational trails along the water's edge.
