About this map

Little South Pembina River carves through the northeastern corner of this Cavalier County landscape, creating a distinct break in the otherwise orderly section lines of the Public Land Survey System. In this portion of North Dakota, the landscape is defined by the transition between the rolling uplands of t162n r58w and the riparian corridors of the Tongue River to the south. Historically significant sites for genealogists include the South Pembina Cem and the Zion Community Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the rural families who established this agricultural community. The grid of section roads, including Co Rd 39 and 116th Ave NE, facilitates a highly organized farm-to-market network that has persisted through the decades, connecting isolated farmsteads with the regional centers beyond the quadrangle's borders.
