1948 Map of Dokken SW

About this map

East Cut Bank Creek and West Cut Bank Creek converge in this section of North Dakota, forming the main stem of Cut Bank Creek as it winds through the prairie. Surveyed in the late 1940s, the landscape is defined by the rural townships of Hoffman and Cutbank, where the grid of sections is punctuated by symbols of early community life. Small country schoolhouses like School No 1 and School No 2 are situated to serve the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogical interest is centered on the local burial grounds, including the Brotherhood Cem and the Mohall Cem, both located near the western boundary where the map meets the border between Renville and Bottineau counties. The terrain is characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of the creek system against the plateau of the northern plains.
