About this map

The Goose River meanders in tight oxbows through this landscape, defining the character of the Red River Valley in Traill County. The settlement of Hillsboro serves as the focal point, situated where the river loops south of the town center. Local history and genealogy are well-represented here by a significant cluster of cemeteries north of the city, including Riverside Cem, Saint Lynn Elton Cem, Saint Rose Cem, and Elmwood Cem.

Further north, the small settlement of Taft sits along the major north-south transport corridor, while Deck Airport provides a point of interest for aviation history. The grid-based road system, including routes like Co HWY 13 and Center St, reveals the systematic division of the surrounding agricultural land. The intricate hydrology of the Goose River, with its many unnamed wetlands and secondary channels, illustrates the low-relief terrain of this part of North Dakota.
