About this map

Glacial depressions and water bodies dominate this prairie landscape in Barnes and Stutsman Counties, where the Northern Pacific R. R. serves as the primary artery for settlement. The terrain is marked by a significant chain of lakes, including the elongated Eckelson Lakes, Fox Lake, and Hobart Lake, which break the geometric precision of the township grid. These water sources likely dictated the placement of early railroad towns like Sanborn and Eckelson.
