About this map

The Manitoba-North Dakota border defines the northern edge of this late 1960s landscape, where the Pembina Hills and Pembina Mountains dominate the terrain. This region in Cavalier County is characterized by the deeply incised valleys of the Pembina River and the Little South Pembina River, creating a distinctive escarpment topography. The land use is a mix of conservation and rural community life, featuring the Pembina Hills State Game Management Area alongside active local landmarks like the Townhall.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the social fabric of the townships through several rural congregations and their burial grounds. Notable sites include Nora Numedahl Ch and its accompanying Nora Numedahl Cem, as well as Big Pembina Ch and Vang Ch. Several Shale Pits and a Gravel Pit are noted throughout the hills, indicating the local extraction activities occurring during this era of North Dakota history.
