About this map

Calio stands as a central settlement in this North Dakota landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area is defined by its agricultural character and civil divisions, where townships like Klingstrup, Sievert, Bethel, and Victor organize the prairie into a grid of section lines and field boundaries. This survey reveals a community anchored by local landmarks, such as the Townhall and the Salem Cem in the central portion of the quadrangle.

The terrain is marked by numerous small depressions and sloughs, typical of the pothole region, alongside small-scale industrial sites like various Gravel Pits and a Gravel Pit. The map captures the intersection of three counties, with boundaries for Towner, Cavalier, and Ramsey counties meeting here. Smaller locales like Newville and St Joe appear as distinct points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the early 1970s footprint of these prairie communities.
