About this map

Clementsville sits at the heart of this North Dakota prairie landscape, where the township divisions of Gray, Uxbridge, Rose, and Brimer meet. The map reveals a transition in rural transport during the early 1970s, as the Soo Line railroad continues its path through the terrain while a significant section of track to the south is marked as Abandoned. This shift in the rail network mirrors the evolving settlement patterns near the Stutsman Co and Barnes Co line.

Agricultural land is punctuated by numerous small depressions and water bodies, most notably Scotts Lake in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The small siding or settlement of Durupt appears further north along the rail line, while a Gravel Pit near the eastern edge indicates local extractive activity. This survey, based on 1969 aerial photography, provides a clear view of the section-line road grid that defines the region’s development.
