About this map

The Forest River winds through this Red River Valley landscape, marking the boundary line where Walsh Co and Grand Forks Co meet. In the early 1960s, this agricultural area was defined by a strictly organized grid of township sections and field lines, supporting the rural communities of Strabane and Johnstown. The transportation network relies on a mix of state routes and the Soo Line railroad, which cuts across the northern half of the sheet.

Local education and industry are centered at the Midway High Sch, located near a Sewage Pond, and several small-scale excavations like the Gravel Pit found near the river's edge. This survey, part of the Missouri River Basin development program, provides a clear view of the mid-century infrastructure and land use patterns that shaped these North Dakota townships during a period of agricultural stabilization.
