About this map

Lansford and the surrounding agricultural plains of the Souris River Basin are defined by a strict section-line grid of rural roads and the intermittent flow of prairie coulees. This landscape in north-central North Dakota sits along the border of Renville and Bottineau counties, where the terrain is punctuated by small wetlands and the winding paths of Little Deep Creek and Egg Creek. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure connecting the area, with Co Rd 26 and Country Rd 26A serving as primary corridors for the local farming community.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as the Lansford Cemetery, situated just south of the town site near the Bottineau County line. The settlement of Chola appears in the northwest corner, illustrating the continued presence of small rail-side or crossroads points within the vast township and range system. The transition between t159n r84w and t158n r83w demonstrates the precision of the Public Land Survey System in this region.
