About this map

Bremen lies at the southern edge of this North Dakota landscape, situated along the Great Northern rail line and the edge of Big Slough. This mid-century survey reveals a rural prairie community defined by its township boundaries and township schools, including School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3. These social hubs are joined by civic and religious landmarks such as the Town Hall, Viking Ch, and Trinity Cem near the rail line.

The topography is marked by glacial depression lakes like Norway Lake, Goose Lake, and Zumpf Lake, which dot the terrain between the Sheyenne River in the northeast and the prominent elevation of Black Hammer Hill. This map captures the region as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, illustrating the organized grid of section lines that governed the settlement patterns of South Viking and West Antelope townships.
