About this map

Glen Ullin serves as the primary hub of this North Dakota landscape, situated where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks and modern highway infrastructure intersect. The town's layout is clearly defined against the surrounding drainage systems of Big Muddy Creek and Haymarsh Creek, reflecting a settlement pattern tied to both the rail corridor and local water sources. To the west of the town center, the Glen Ullin State Game Management Area occupies a marshy stretch of the creek valley, while the Glen Ullin Airport provides aerial access to this prairie region.

Rural education and community landmarks are scattered across the township lines, including Curlew Sch No 3 and Tavis Sch No 8. These small, numbered schoolhouses, along with the local Cem, provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracking early twentieth-century family locations. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as Horseshoe Butte, Rocky Ridge, and Spring Butte, which break the horizon of the Missouri River Basin development area.
