About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders through the heart of this North Dakota landscape, tracing a serpentine path through the fertile plains of Richland County. The small settlement of Christine serves as the primary hub for this agricultural region, situated just west of the Red River of the North, which defines the border with Minnesota. This 2011 survey captures a rural environment where land use is meticulously organized into a grid of section lines, including County RD 81 and numerous numbered avenues like 174th Ave SE.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of five distinct cemeteries across the quadrangle, including South Pleasant Cemetery and Pioneer Cemetery. The presence of the Christine Dam on the Red River highlights the managed nature of the local waterways. Smaller locales like Lithia and family-named sites such as Eagle Cemetery and Richland Cemetery provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of early families and community development in this corner of the Red River Valley.
