About this map

The rolling prairies of Tell and Wood townships characterize this mid-1970s survey of Emmons County. This portion of the North Dakota landscape is defined by the subtle drainage of Long Lake Creek as it winds through a terrain of depressions and low rises. A localized Grave marker in the northern section provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early rural burials in the region.

Agricultural infrastructure and early aviation are represented by the small settlement of Brad and the Saville Landing Strip. These features reflect the mid-century reliance on localized hubs for commerce and private transportation across the vast interior of the state. The layout of section lines and unimproved roads reveals the persistent grid system that has dictated land use and property boundaries since the homesteading era.
