About this map

The settlement of Milton serves as the focal point of this northeastern North Dakota landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line in the early 1970s. This agricultural region is defined by its rural townships, including South Olga, Alma, and Montrose, where the sectioned prairie is dotted with sites of local heritage. The map records several spiritual landmarks such as North Dovre Ch, Fjalla Ch, and the St Clothilda Cem, providing valuable location data for genealogical research.

Waterways like the Tongue River and the North Branch Park River cut through the terrain, which otherwise shows evidence of local industry through several Shale Pits and a Gravel Pit. Notable for its precise field markings, the survey includes fine red dashed lines that indicate specific fence and field lines visible from the 1970 aerial photography, offering a detailed view of the era's land use and property boundaries.
