2014 Map of Pelto

About this map

Pelto serves as the central point of interest in this 2014 survey, which covers a largely agricultural portion of the North Dakota plains. The map illustrates a landscape defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with numerous section-line roads such as 112th Ave NE and 54th St NE providing access to the isolated farmsteads and fields. Notable for genealogical research, the area includes the Finnish Cem and W Forest Cem, which anchor the local history of settlement and community life in this region. The northern portion of the map is bisected by the boundary between Walsh Co and Nelson Co, marking a significant administrative divide in the rural countryside. Small, scattered water bodies and wetlands break the geometric regularity of the roads, particularly near the settlement of Pelto.
