About this map

North Branch Park River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its path and associated wetlands contrasting with the rigid, square-mile grid of the Public Land Survey System. This rural area, straddling the boundary between Pembina Co and Walsh Co, is defined by its agricultural layout, where arterial roads like 144th Ave NE and 78th St NE partition the prairie. For genealogists, the map identifies local landmarks such as Saint Johns Lutheran Cem in the northwest and the Farmington Burial Ground to the east. Water features like Cart Creek and the marshy depression known as The Coulee break up the flat topography, indicating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use and field boundaries in this corner of North Dakota.
