1964 Map of Cavalier NW

About this map

The meandering Pembina River carves a deep green corridor through the flat agricultural lands of Pembina County in this mid-1960s study. The landscape is characterized by a precise grid of section lines and unimproved dirt roads, reflecting the systematic settlement of the Red River Valley. Along the river’s erratic bends, designated areas like St Joseph and Felson mark specific recreational or land-use zones. Cultural life for the rural population centers on landmarks such as Park Center Ch and family-linked burial grounds including Hyde Park Cem and Tyner Cem. To the north, the topographic relief of Horgan Ridge and the drainage of Park Coulee provide the only major breaks in the prairie horizon, illustrating the transition of the northern plains landscape just south of the Canadian border.
