About this map

Dunseith anchors this North Dakota landscape where the high prairie meets the southern slopes of the Turtle Mountains. This 2017 survey details a region defined by its complex glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of water bodies including Schutte Lake, Bigham Lake, and Thorn Lake. The township structure is clearly marked by a grid of rural roads like 96th ST NE and Cemetery RD, which connect scattered residential areas and important local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of community burial grounds, including Riverside Cem, Saint Sylvan Cem, and Saint Louis Cem. These sites, along with the small communities of San Haven and East Dunseith, illustrate the settlement patterns of Rolette County. The map also traces the winding courses of Willow Cr and Mineral Cr, reflecting the natural drainage system that has influenced land use and development in this northern border region.
