About this map

Glacial depressions and small prairie wetlands dominate this portion of the North Dakota plains, where the rectilinear grid of section roads defines a landscape of agricultural utility. The boundary between Barnes Co and LaMoure Co runs along 54th St SE, marking the southern extent of the survey. The region is largely defined by the Public Land Survey System, with townships like t137n r60w and t138n r61w containing the small markers of early community life. Scattered burial sites, including the Swedish Cem in the northeast and Bethlehem Cem further south near 102nd Ave SE, serve as primary genealogical anchors for the area. The map illustrates a contemporary view of this rural landscape, highlighting how the 19th-century township divisions continue to organize the road networks and property lines of the modern prairie.
