Burleigh County Topographic Map
Burleigh County sits where plains start to roll. It’s flatter in the east. But closer to the Missouri River, things shift. You’ll see ridges, small valleys, and bluffs that appear. Though it’s not mountainous, the terrain gets interesting near the water. Even the city slopes slightly downhill toward the river.

While Bismarck handles the traffic, rural roads remain quiet. But even those roads matter for reaching small towns. You can use our zoom tool below to see every detail.

Farther out, fields take over. Though some parts look dry, others show deep green crops. You can also spot lakes and ponds all around.
