About this map

Dresden and Langdon serve as the primary anchors for this Cavalier County landscape, where the agricultural grid is intersected by the diagonal path of the Burlington Northern railroad. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the South Little Pembina River and numerous depressions typical of the regional prairie pothole topography. Local aviation is represented by two distinct sites: Robertson Field near the southern edge and the more rustic Walts Air Service Landing Strip further west.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks, including the Redeemer Cem near the former site of Dresden and the Calvary Cem on the outskirts of Langdon. The map captures the infrastructure of a mid-century rural hub, from the High Sch and Trailer Park to the essential Langdon Reservoir. Several active Gravel Pits and various Sewage Disposal Ponds provide evidence of the area's utility and industrial footprint during the early 1970s.
