About this map

Niagara occupies the southwestern corner of this Grand Forks County landscape, serving as a primary settlement point in a region defined by agricultural sections and the winding course of the North Branch Turtle River. The river valley cuts across the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by the curiously named Whisky Creek as it flows eastward. This area maintains a strong rural character, centered around local landmarks such as the Elk Valley Lutheran Church and its associated Elk Valley Lutheran Church Cem on the eastern edge. Genealogists and local historians will find the layout of township boundaries like t152n r56w and t152n r55w particularly useful for locating homesteads and ancestral properties. The map also documents the dense network of rural infrastructure, including Niagara Cem and the section-line roads like Co Rd 10 and 24th Ave that provide access to the vast farmsteads of the Red River Valley hinterlands.
