About this map

The agricultural plains of Cavalier County are defined by a rhythmic grid of section lines and townships in this 1970 survey. The landscape is divided into the civil townships of South Dresden, Waterloo, Moscow, and Minto, reflecting the organized settlement patterns of the Red River Valley region. Social life in these rural communities centered on landmarks like the Townhall and local congregations such as St John Ch and North Unity Ch.

Transport and industry are concentrated along the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the northern portion of the map. Small-scale resource extraction is evident from several Gravel Pits scattered near the rail line and township roads. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Bethel Cem and an additional unnamed Cem, preserving the physical layout of these pioneer-era sites before modern agricultural consolidation.
