About this map

Glacial potholes and prairie wetlands define this corner of Dickey County, where a grid of section roads structures the agricultural landscape. Two significant local landmarks for genealogical research are visible here: Peace Cem in the north and Saint Pauls Cem situated along the eastern boundary. The terrain is marked by subtle shifts in elevation that collect water into numerous unnamed ponds and sloughs, with Wilson Dam appearing as a notable exception of water management in the western portion of the quadrangle.

Transportation is centered on a handful of arterial routes, including the Monango-Merricourt Rd and Co Hwy 4, which connect the isolated farmsteads of the region. This 2017 survey reflects the persistent rural character of the North Dakota plains, showing the intersection of Township 131 and 132 North across Ranges 63 and 64 West. The placement of small cemeteries and the lack of concentrated urban development illustrate the enduring nature of this dispersed farming community.
