About this map

Penn and Ramsey define the rail-oriented landscape of this central North Dakota territory, where the straight line of the railway cuts through a terrain marked by glacial depressions and intermittent water. The settlement at Penn serves as a focal point, supported by local landmarks like St Paul Cem, while the southern reaches of the map near Scandia reflect the rural community's spiritual and social foundations through sites like St Olaf Cem.

Hydrologically, the map is dominated by the expansive, shallow basin of Dry Lake in the northeast and the upper reaches of Sixmile Bay to the southeast. These features, along with the distinct Coulee in the northwest, illustrate the drainage patterns of the region. The map also records mid-century infrastructure and industry, including a local Quarry and a small Landing Strip, providing a clear look at the agricultural and logistical layout of the county during the 1990s.
