1939 Map of Dunseith

About this map

The International Peace Garden and its Peace Monument anchor the northern edge of this map, straddling the Canada United States border. This 1935 survey captures a diverse landscape where the wooded hills of the Turtle Mountains meet the prairie plains of Lordsburg and Gilbert. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the cluster of small lakes and marshes, such as Willow Lake and Lords Lake, which define the local topography. At the foot of these hills, Dunseith serves as a vital hub along the Great Northern railroad and the Airport, surrounded by rural infrastructure including the St Louis Cem and Riverside Cem. Numerous local schools like Carrie Sch and Indian Sch reflect a distributed rural population, while the CCC Camp and Butte St Paul State Park highlight Depression-era conservation and recreational development.
