About this map

The White Earth River carves a winding path through this portion of Mountrail County, defining the local topography with its intricate drainage patterns. The settlement of Manitou serves as a primary point of reference along the Burlington Northern railroad, which cuts across the northern half of the landscape. This corridor was essential for the transport of goods and people across the high plains of North Dakota during the late twentieth century.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Bohemian Cem in the southeastern quadrant, a site that speaks to the specific heritage of the families who settled this region. The map also documents the industrial presence of the era, from numerous Gravel Pits to a major Pipeline traversing the terrain. Distinctive local identifiers such as Rockpile and the township designation of Debing offer specific landmarks for those tracing land ownership and community development.
