About this map

The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the prairie of North Dakota meets Saskatchewan. The town of Crosby serves as the regional hub, situated at the intersection of the Burlington Soo Line Northern railroad. The map documents a transition in transportation infrastructure, showing both active rail lines and a segment of Soo Line Abandoned track heading east.

Rural life is anchored by scattered institutions across the wide expanses of Blooming Prairie and Fillmore, including School No 2 and School No 4. Local heritage is preserved at St Patricks Cem and Concordia Cem, while the Crosby Municipal Airfield and Crosby Country Club reflect the mid-century development of the community. Natural drainage is dominated by the winding course of Long Creek as it moves toward the international boundary.
