About this map

The Sheyenne River snakes through the southern portion of this landscape, carving a distinct valley through the prairie of Ransom County. The river corridor serves as a focal point for both modern recreation and historical placement, hosting a segment of the N Country National Scenic Trail as it follows the winding course of Valley Rd. To the north, the terrain transitions into a glaciated plateau characterized by numerous wetlands and small water bodies such as Brower Lake. The rural character of Moore Township is evidenced by the strict section-line road grid and the presence of small, localized landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can find the sites of Bethania Cem and Fillmore Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the community's early settlement. Prominent elevations like Oestreicher Hill and Scott Hill provide overlooks across this largely agricultural expanse.
