About this map

Mohall serves as the primary hub of this Renville County landscape, situated at the junction of the Burlington Northern railroad and local thoroughfares. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage of West Cut Bank Creek, which meanders across the townships of Brandon and Hurley. The 1980 edition, based on earlier surveys and updated with 1977 aerial photography, captures the agricultural character of the region during a period of transition for rural infrastructure.

To the north, the small settlement of Loraine sits near the headwaters of the creek system, reflecting the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the North Dakota plains. The inclusion of the Mohall Landing Field highlights the importance of aerial accessibility for this prairie community. This survey provides a clear view of the section lines and topography that governed land use and development in the mid-to-late 20th century.
