About this map

The small community of Raymond and its surrounding agricultural grid define this landscape in Clark County. The township's organized structure is centered on a cluster of streets including School St, Ranney Ave, and George St. Outside of the immediate town site, the landscape is partitioned by a meticulous network of section lines, including 165th St and 414th Ave, reflecting the enduring homestead patterns of the eastern Dakotas.

Genealogists and local historians can find important landmarks of the community's heritage in the outlying areas. The map clearly identifies the locations of Saint Patricks Cem and Prairie Valley Cem, which serve as quiet records of the families that settled this portion of the northern plains. The presence of a designated Private St and the varied courses of narrow water bodies intersecting the road grid offer subtle clues to the local topography and land use during the early 21st century.
