About this map

The Green River and Russian Spring Creek wind through this North Dakota landscape on the border of Dunn and Stark counties. While the northern reaches are dominated by these drainage systems, the southwestern corner is defined by the prominent elevation of the Davis Buttes, standing apart from Simon Butte to the north. These landmarks provided essential orientation for early travelers across the plains.

Local education is represented by the Versippi Sch, located near the center of the sheet. The economy of the mid-20th century is visible through numerous Gravel Pits concentrated along the riverbanks and a Radio Tower in the south, indicating the arrival of modern communications infrastructure. A small section of the Heart River also appears at the southern edge, completing a picture of a region defined by its watercourses and distinct topographical rises.
