Description
This scene from a rise above the Heart River Valley offers an excellent example of what American settlers witnessed as a mythical endless prairie. Here in western North Dakota the Heart River gets its start in the Little Missouri Grassland and flows toward the east. Joined by the Green River at Gladstone, the Heart continues on to the Missouri River at Mandan.
Placed in the center of the continent, North Dakota's hilly landscape and rolling plains make up the state's signature landscape. It's no wonder that early 19th century ranchers, pioneers and farmers believed in a limitless frontier.
