About this map

The rolling plains of southeastern North Dakota are meticulously documented here, specifically where the border of Ransom Co and Sargent Co meets. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, characterized by numerous depressions and the prominent Whitestone Hill rising in the southeast. Settlement patterns follow the township and range system, with the townships of Elliott, Alleghany, Vivian, and B A L E showing a distributed network of rural homesteads and agricultural activity.

Educational infrastructure is represented by a series of numbered rural schools, including School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3, which served as the social and civic anchors for this prairie community. Natural drainage is primarily handled by the winding Timber Coulee and Dead Colt Creek, while Island Park stands out as a distinct terrain feature in the northern portion of the map. This survey was conducted as part of a Department of the Interior program focusing on the development of the Missouri River Basin.
