About this map

The border between Oliver Co and Morton Co runs horizontally across this North Dakota prairie landscape, marking a quiet agricultural region defined by a precise section-line road grid. The terrain is characterized by the soft undulations of the Missouri Plateau, where small wetlands and ephemeral drainages weave between the elevated flats. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant for genealogical research, anchored by the Rosebud Catholic Cem in the northwest and Saint Vincent Church Ce in the southeast. These sites, along with the network of rural routes like Co Rd 140 and 34th ST, reflect the enduring pattern of settlement and community life in this portion of the Great Plains. The map provides a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how family farms are linked by a system of gravel and dirt roads that have followed the same section boundaries for over a century.
