About this map

The Sheyenne River carves a deep, winding valley through the southern portion of this landscape, creating a sharp contrast between the level upland plateaus and the dissected river bluffs. In this agricultural region of Ransom County, the map records rural landmarks such as the Bethania Cem and Fillmore Ch, which served the surrounding townships of Preston, Moore, and Springer. Resource extraction and land use are evident through features like the Griswold Mine and various Gravel Pits concentrated near the river’s edge. Elevated points like Oestreicher Hill and Scott Hill provide natural overlooks above the valley floor, while Brown Lake and a prominent Spring indicate the local hydrology in a terrain otherwise defined by section lines and field boundaries.
