About this map

The intersection of the Soo Line and Burlington Northern railroads defines the rural landscape of this Bottineau County quadrangle. The small settlement of Omemee sits at this transit crossing, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural townships of Amity, Lordsburg, and Willow Vale. The map reveals a land heavily influenced by seasonal water and drainage patterns, most notably through Belmar Slough and the winding course of Willow Creek.

Smaller localities like Tasco and Belmar appear alongside local infrastructure such as a Gravel Pit, a Windmill, and a Landing Strip. For those researching regional genealogy, the Tasco Cem is clearly marked east of the rail lines. The terrain is a mix of township-divided prairie and natural depressions, providing a detailed record of North Dakota's mid-century rural development and transit-oriented settlement patterns before later consolidations.
