Cannon Ball is located at 46.3237°N, 100.6294°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 58528.Cannon Ball occupies a vast stretch of open prairie where the horizon pulls the eye toward an enormous, pale sky. It lies 30.3 miles south-southeast of Bismarck, ND (from Bismarck, ND: bearing 163°T), and is situated 33.3 miles south-southeast of Mandan. The landscape shifts from flat grasslands to the rugged, uneven earth that suggests the proximity of Devils Gulch, while the Missouri River carves a deliberate path through the dusty loam. To the west, the jagged silhouette of The Hogback rises against the light, grounding the expansive terrain in a quiet, geological permanence. The air here carries a dry, persistent clarity, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the plains and leaves the earth to hold the lingering warmth of the day.
Cannon Ball remains deeply rooted in the traditions of the Standing Rock Reservation, where the economy moves in tandem with the seasonal cycles of the land and the stewardship of the Missouri River. Life here is defined by a deliberate, measured pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of the oil patch to the north. Visitors often pass through the Oaha Recreation Area to appreciate the quiet expanse of Lake Oahe, a reservoir that reflects the changing temperaments of the prairie clouds. History in Cannon Ball is not a static relic but a living continuity, woven into the daily habits of those who recognize the weight of the soil and the enduring significance of the surrounding plains.
