About this map

The railroad town of Casselton dominates the southern landscape of this Cass County survey, serving as a critical junction for the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads. This network of steel defines the local economy and settlement pattern, extending into neighboring townships like Everest, Durbin, and Harmony. The topography is shaped by the wandering paths of Swan Creek and the Rush River, which carve through the flat agricultural expanse of the Red River Valley.

Detailed infrastructure is visible near the town center, including a water tank, Reservoir, and a small landing strip to the south. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by the inclusion of St Leo Cem and a general Cem, alongside the northern boundary of Amenia Village Bdy. The presence of the Dalrymple Spur reflects the region's deep ties to large-scale wheat farming and early industrial rail transport.
