About this map

The Souris River and Des Lacs River converge in the southwest corner of this Ward County landscape, creating a distinctive corridor for transport and settlement in the mid-20th century. Following the river's path, the Minneapolis ST Paul And Sault Ste Marie Railway connects the town of Burlington to the regional hub of Minot. The uplands are defined by a grid of agricultural townships like Waterford and Kirklie, dotted with rural educational and religious centers such as Graham Sch and Lynch Ch. North of the river, the landscape transitions into a flatter terrain marked by Livingston Lake and the Nat Wildlife Refuge. This survey documents a prairie economy tied to the rails, featuring the Port O'Minot Airport and small crossroads like Ruthville and Livingston.
