About this map

The Maple River meanders across this rural Dakota landscape, defining the eastern drainage of a region marked by extensive wetlands and prairie depressions. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is characterized by the broad basins of Minnie Lake, Cornell, and Weimer, reflecting the characteristic glacial topography of the Red River Valley hinterlands. A solitary Townhall stands as a central community landmark in a landscape otherwise defined by the grid of section lines and township roads. The boundary between Barnes Co and Cass Co bisects the western half of the sheet, providing a clear view of the jurisdictional divisions that shaped early settlement and local governance in this agricultural heartland.
