About this map

Pembina River and the Little South Pembina River carve deep, complex drainages through this section of Cavalier County, defining a landscape dominated by dramatic elevation changes. The rugged topography of White Earth Hill contrasts with the surrounding agricultural grid, which is strictly organized by a network of rural roads such as Mt Carmel Rd and 109th St NE. The settlement of Vang sits on the eastern edge of the survey, while Pembina Valley occupies a prominent position within the river's winding course.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the scattered burial grounds of the region, including the Nore Numedahl Cem and the Big Pembina Cem. The proximity of the Homen Lutheran Cem to the river bluffs illustrates the early placement of community landmarks along the natural breaks in the prairie. This map records the modern state of these rural North Dakota townships, where the original land survey system continues to dictate the placement of farmsteads and transportation corridors.
