About this map

Daglum is the focal point of this high-plains landscape, situated where the northern prairies transition into the broken terrain of the badlands. The settlement is anchored by the Daglum Cem, a vital site for family historians tracking early homesteading roots in this corner of North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Antelope Creek, which carves through the undulating topography towards Flagstaff Butte.

South of the main settlement, the boundary between Stark Co and Slope Co marks the edge of the Little Missouri National Grassland. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads, including 48th St SW and 122nd Ave SW, which facilitate movement through a region shaped by large-scale ranching and grazing. This survey provides a clear view of the sparse but deliberate distribution of property and infrastructure in a territory where the natural elements of the grassland remain the dominant force.
