1949 Map of Mohall NE

About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the prairie of Renville County meets Saskatchewan. In the late 1940s, the terrain was characterized by the winding path of Cut Bank Creek and the expansive rural townships of Eden Valley and Hurley. This survey, compiled in part from 1946 aerial photography, documents the infrastructure of a remote agricultural community, including the Great Northern railroad line cutting through the southwestern corner. Local landmarks essential for genealogists and local historians are preserved here, such as School No 1 and the Eden Valley Cem, which serves as a central point of reference for the families who settled this northern border region.
