2017 Map of Pelto

About this map

Pelto sits within a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and numerous wetlands in this 2017 study of the North Dakota prairie. The map documents the boundary between Walsh Co and Nelson Co, providing a precise look at the township and range lines that structured settlement in this region. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial sites, such as the Finnish Lutheran Cem Finnish Cem and West Forest Cem, which reflect the ethnic heritage and early community centers of the area. A network of section roads, including Co Rd 1 and Co Rd 2, connects these quiet landmarks across the undulating terrain of the Red River Valley hinterlands.
