About this map

The international border between the Canada and United States defines the northern edge of this Renville County landscape, where the prairie transitions into the agricultural townships of Colquhoun, Eden Valley, and Hamerly. The survey reflects a mid-century rural economy anchored by the Great Northern railroad, which links the northern outpost of Sherwood to the southern hub of Mohall. Small, vital community nodes are scattered throughout the grid, marked by local schools and places of worship such as Lutheran Ch and St Johns Ch.

Drainage across the plains follows the winding paths of Cut Bank Creek and Little Deep Creek, while the presence of the Eden Valley Cem and Union Cem offers specific touchpoints for genealogical research. This survey was conducted as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, documenting a period when the prairie was fully organized into school districts and township units, before the consolidation of rural infrastructure.
