USGS Topo · Published 1904About this map
The James River Valley dominates this prairie landscape, where the meandering James River carves a path through the southern plains of North Dakota. Surveyed in 1892, the map documents a critical junction of early commerce centered on Oakes, which emerged as a hub for multiple rail lines. The Northern Pacific and the Chicago and Northwestern converge here, alongside the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie, illustrating the rapid rail expansion that defined the region's agricultural development.
