About this map

Mantador anchors this mid-century survey of Richland County, positioned along the Soo Line railroad which cuts diagonally across the prairie landscape. The town is situated in a region defined by the winding course of the Wild Rice River to the south and the South Branch Antelope Creek to the north. These waterways carve distinct patterns through the agricultural townships of Barney, Belford, and Brandenburg, dictating the placement of rural landmarks.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by community anchors like St Johns Ch and Calvary Cem. A small Landing Field and the rail-stop of Bayne indicate the transportation and utility infrastructure supporting the farming economy during this era. The map reveals the intricate network of section lines and field boundaries that organized North Dakota's eastern plains before the era of widespread farm consolidation.
