About this map

The Turtle Mountains dominate this landscape along the international border, where the Canada-United States boundary bisects Boundary Lake. This 1960s terrain study reveals a high-density lake region, with many water bodies bearing family or local names such as Lagerquist Lake, Bergen Lake, and Walker Lake. The area reflects a commitment to conservation at the time, featuring the Rabb Lake National Wildlife Refuge and Willow National Wildlife Refuge.

Evidence of early rural settlement and community life is preserved through landmarks like Ackworth Cem and the Rendahl Ch. The topography is shaped by the transition from the Turtle Mountain Provincial Park in Manitoba into the rolling hills of Bottineau and Rolette counties. This survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Willow Creek and the distribution of resource extraction sites like the various Gravel Pit locations scattered across the townships.
