About this map

The Little Muddy River winds through the heart of this North Dakota landscape, carving a valley between the prominent elevations of Missouri Ridge. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the map documents a rural section of Williams County where the township boundaries of Athens, Dublin, Tyrone, East Fork, and Pherrin converge. The agricultural and educational infrastructure of the period is visible through the placement of rural schoolhouses, including East Fork Sch and Brown Sch.

Water management and natural drainage are central themes here, with Otter Tail Creek and Cow Creek feeding into the main river system. A Gaging Sta and several Gravel Pit sites indicate local utility and industry, while the contour lines reveal the complex breaks and coulees that define the Missouri Plateau. This record reflects the high plains before modernization altered the localized water and road networks.
