1962 Map of Schmidt

About this map

The Missouri River corridor south of Bismarck is defined here by the emerging waters of the Oahe Reservoir, which began flooding the valley floor in the years following the completion of the Oahe Dam. This 1962 field-checked survey captures the landscape as it transitions from a traditional riverine environment to a regulated reservoir system. Along the western bank, the Northern Pacific railroad tracks hug the base of the bluffs, passing through the small settlement of Schmidt. The map provides significant historical context by marking the boundaries of the Old Fort Lincoln Military Reservation and the Old Fort Rice Military Reservation, reflecting the region's 19th-century frontier history. Educational and religious life is noted by the presence of Bonanza Sch No 4, the Fort Lincoln Sch, and the Annunciation Priory overlooking Apple Creek. Significant tributaries like the Little Heart River are shown winding through the dissected terrain of Morton County.
