2024 Map of Schmidt

About this map

The Missouri River carves a dramatic path through this section of the Dakotas, marking the boundary between Burleigh and Morton counties. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lake Oahe and the sharp turn of Oahe Bend, where the river transitions into a complex system of braided channels and low-lying land. This landscape is defined by its expansive alluvial flats, including Apple Creek Bottom and Schmidt Bottom, which were historically vital for local agriculture and settlement patterns near the small community of Schmidt.
