About this map

Glacial lake basins and high prairie ridges define this landscape along the borders of Nelson, Griggs, and Eddy counties in the early 1960s. The terrain is marked by a series of significant water bodies, including Red Willow Lake, Ottofy Lake, and the distinctly named Hoot-E-Too Lake. These natural features dictated the early settlement patterns of the townships of Forde, Bergen, and Rosendal. Local heritage is anchored by sites like the Bergen Ch Cem and St Johns Cem, which served the rural farming communities of the era. The presence of multiple Gravel Pits suggests an economy linked to local infrastructure and road maintenance as the region's agricultural footprint expanded. The map meticulously records the intersection of three county lines, reflecting the complex administrative boundaries of this prairie region.
