About this map

The Souris River meanders through the heart of this North Dakota landscape, its oxbows and marshy bottomlands creating a complex hydrological pattern against the surrounding prairie. This 1948 plane-table survey captures the rural infrastructure of McHenry County, highlighted by the presence of Oak Valley School No 1 and Oak Valley School No 2, serving the farming families of the Falsen township area. The landscape is dotted with small wetlands and depressions typical of the region's glacial topography. For those researching local history, the location of the Trinity Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogical study within this agricultural district. The map was developed as part of a larger Department of the Interior program focusing on the Missouri River Basin, documenting the drainage and culture of the plains shortly after the war.
