About this map

The Maple River snakes through the southern portion of this 1961 survey, where the town of Enderlin straddles the boundary between Cass and Ransom Counties. This landscape is defined by the rectilinear grid of township boundaries, including Liberty, Pontiac, and Clifton, which organize the agricultural plains. Transportation and commerce are centered around the Northern Pacific railroad corridor in the north and the municipal developments in the south, such as Sky Haven Ranch Airport and the greenery of Patrick Pierce Park.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural sections of the map, which identify a Townhall and several small burial grounds like Salem Cem and Trinity Cem. These landmarks, along with scattered Gravel Pit operations, provide a clear record of the area's mid-century rural infrastructure and community layout before later decades of agricultural consolidation changed the prairie footprint.
