About this map

Glacial potholes and prairie wetlands define the landscape of northwestern North Dakota in the late 1940s, a terrain shaped by the townships of Plumer, Frazier, and Frederick. The area is characterized by an intricate network of small water bodies and seasonal basins, with the larger Bright Water Lake appearing on the western edge. This survey, compiled from 1946 aerial photography, captures the rural infrastructure of the era, including the Great Northern railroad cutting through the southern townships of Bigstone and Hazel. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the East Opdal Cem (Old) and East Opdal Cem, alongside the remote Liberty Sch, offering a clear picture of the community hubs that served this sparsely populated agricultural region at the boundary of Divide and Williams Counties.
