About this map

The agrarian landscape of the Red River Valley is defined here by the established settlement of Hunter, which sits at the intersection of a local grid system and the north-south corridor of the Great Northern railroad. Surveyed in the late 1960s, this area of Cass County reflects a highly structured township system, with boundaries like Greenfield, Bohnsack, and Bell clearly delineated across the flat plains. The South Branch Elm River provides the primary natural drainage, meandering eastward across the central portion of the map.

Local infrastructure for the era is evident in the presence of a Landing Strip and a Water Tank near the town center. Genealogists and local historians can trace the precise location of field lines and fence rows, which were captured during the mapping process from 1964 aerial photography. The boundary between Traill and Cass Counties is marked along the northern edge, anchoring this rural community within its regional context.
