1972 Map of Adams SE

About this map

The North Branch Forest River winds through the northeast corner of this Walsh County landscape, defining the northern limit of a region organized into the townships of Adams, Vesta, Latona, Norton, Perth, and Cleveland. This rural interior of North Dakota is characterized by a high density of small prairie potholes and wetlands, much of which is preserved within the National Waterfowl Production Area. Local social and spiritual life is anchored by dispersed landmarks including the Sarepta Ch, Bechyna Ch, and the Kosobud Community Hall. For genealogists, the map identifies the Narodni Cem and another smaller Cem near the northern boundary. The presence of several Gravel Pit sites and a local Townhall reflects the township-based civic and resource-gathering structure typical of this agricultural era.
