About this map

Lake Pickard and a cluster of nearby prairie potholes define this landscape in the early 1970s. The area is divided by the border of Nelson and Grand Forks counties, with the townships of Petersburg, Adler, and Niagara forming the primary land divisions. Small-scale civic and religious life is anchored by landmarks like Lom Ch and a local Townhall, reflecting the rural character of these townships.

Transport and industry are concentrated in the northern and eastern portions of the sheet. The Burlington Northern railroad tracks cut across the northern boundary, while scattered Gravel Pits indicate local resource extraction. Water remains the dominant geographical feature, from the winding path of the Goose River to named bodies such as Deer Lake, Twin Lakes, and the uniquely named Gopher Tail Lake.
