About this map

The Sheyenne River cuts a deep, winding valley across this central North Dakota landscape, separating the townships of South Viking and West Antelope. Surveyed at the end of the 1920s, the map reveals a rural economy structured by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads. Small rail-side settlements like Flora and Josephine serve as anchor points for the surrounding agricultural tracts.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several numbered school districts and country churches such as Viking Ch, Eden Ch, and Augustana Ch. Near the township boundary of Aurora, Stony Lake provides a notable water feature, while the southern reaches are dominated by the low-lying terrain near Bremen. Local governance and social life are anchored at the Monterey Town Hall, situated near the river's bend, while Black Hammer Hill stands as a rare named prominence in the area's prairie topography.
