About this map

The Carpio settlement serves as the central hub of this mid-century North Dakota landscape, situated where the Soo Line railroad and Route 52 intersect within the valley of the Des Lacs River. The terrain is defined by deep cuts into the prairie, including Hansen Coulee, Egg Coulee, and Hartland Coulee, which create a complex drainage system across the townships of White Ash and Maryland.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural landmarks that anchored this community, such as Nazareth Church and the Helseth School in the north, and Skarsbo School to the south. The proximity of St Johns Cemetery and Lutheran Cemetery to the town center reflects the established religious and social history of the region. Industrial activity is represented by the Gravel Pits near the river, while agricultural water management is evidenced by the Helseth Dam.
