1948 Map of Minot NW

About this map

The Souris River winds through the northeast corner of this terrain, marking a sharp contrast to the high, dry plains that dominate the surrounding landscape. In this 1948 survey, the area is defined by the deep incisions of coulees, including Gassman Coulee and South Branch Coulee, which drain the tablelands into the river valley. The agricultural and rural character of the region is evident in the presence of scattered country schools like School No 2 and School No 1, and the small settlement of Ralston.
