About this map

Scandinavia Ch and the adjacent Scandinavia Cem stand as central landmarks in this rural Ramsey County landscape, which is organized by the townships of Sullivan, Overland, Harding, Cato, Morris, and Noonan. The drainage pattern is dominated by the winding Edmore Coulee, which flows through the center of the region past a Gaging Station.

The presence of a Townhall in the Harding area suggests a civic hub for the local farming community during the early 1970s. Industrial activity is represented by small-scale resource extraction, including a Sandpit and a Gravel Pit, typical of the prairie infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and wetlands common to the North Dakota pothole region, showing the land as it was surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey and the State Water Commission.
