About this map

Cayuga and Rutland anchor this rural Sargent County landscape, where the prairie grid of section roads meets the natural curves of the Wild Rice River. The river system defines the southern reaches of the map, flowing toward the significant waters of Lake Tewaukon. This 2014 survey documents a classic North Dakota agricultural layout, characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and wetlands scattered between the established townships.

Genealogists will find the Nordland Cem south of Rutland, a key landmark for local family history. The transportation network is dominated by ND-11 running east-west through both settlements, while the town of Cayuga shows its local structure with Main St S and its connection to the winding Crooked Cr in the north. The map effectively contrasts the rigid surveyor's lines of 92nd St SE with the erratic, water-carved geography of the Red River Valley's tributary system.
