About this map

The international border between the Canada United States and Saskatchewan North Dakota defines the northern reaches of this mid-century Renville County landscape. The rail-oriented economy is anchored by the Great Northern railroad, which connects the significant settlements of Mohall, Loraine, and Sherwood. Near the border, the U. S. Port of Entry and a Landing Field highlight the area's role in cross-border transit and early regional aviation.

Rural life is organized around a grid of townships like Colquhoun and Eden Valley, punctuated by a network of local institutions. Genealogists and historians can identify numerous community centers including Lutheran Ch, Hamerly Ch, and St Johns Ch, along with several numbered schoolhouses. Water features such as Cut Bank Creek and Eden Valley Creek meander through the prairie, providing drainage for the surrounding agricultural tracts while passing landmarks like Union Cem and Eden Valley Cem.
