1981 Map of Belden SE

About this map

Crane Creek and West Shell Creek meander across this section of Mountrail County, defining a landscape of prairie drainages and isolated rural infrastructure. The map records a series of distinct local burial grounds, including the Belden Finnish Cem in the north and the Finstad Cem further south, which serve as vital markers of the area's early settlement patterns. Near the center of the township, the Bethlehem Ch and its accompanying Bethlehem Ch Cem stand alongside a local Townhall, representing the social and civic heart of the farming community during this era. The terrain is largely agricultural, punctuated by several Gravel Pit operations and a significant Pipeline corridor that cuts through the southern sections. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions of Sikes, Austin, Wayzetta, and Van Hook.
