About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape south of Bismarck, defining the border between Morton and Burleigh counties. Along its banks, the river's historical meanderings have created extensive lowland flats such as Schmidt Bottom, Kimball Bottom, and Graner Bottom. These low-lying areas transition into the waters of Lake Oahe, illustrating the modern management of the Missouri's flow through the Dakotas.

Elevated terrain features like Sugarloaf Butte and Twin Buttes provide distinct landmarks overlooking the river valley and the Sugarloaf Bottoms. Cultural history is anchored by the settlement of Huff at the southern edge of the sheet, while the presence of Stewartsdale Cem to the north reflects the rural community's long-standing roots. The map detail highlights the development of rural road networks, such as 89th Ave SE and Wildrose Dr, as they navigate the area's complex topography near Apple Creek.
