About this map

The James River meanders through the central and southern portions of this Eddy County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by glacial wetlands and low-lying plains. The settlement of New Rockford sits on the western edge of the map, serving as a primary hub for the surrounding agricultural sections. To the southeast, the small community of Dundas is positioned near the river's path, highlighting the early reliance on water sources for settlement placement in the North Dakota prairie.

Hydrological features like Schwoebel Slough and Rocky Run indicate a high water table and a network of seasonal drainage that characterizes the region. North of the river, Tiffany Flats represents a distinct topographical break in the township grid. The map's layout follows the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Co Rd 3 and numerous numbered avenues creating a rigid geometric framework across the river valley and upland prairies.
