About this map

Raymond sits as the primary settlement on this Sheridan County map, located just south of the international border between United States of America and Canada. The landscape is defined by the unique glaciated prairie potholes of the Northern Plains, evidenced by a series of named wetlands such as Mattson Slough, Lochin Slough, and Syme Slough. These water bodies are scattered across a terrain shaped by the slow-moving drainage of McCoy Cr and characterized by the township and range grid of the Public Land Survey System.

Transportation in this borderland region relies on a network of rural routes, including the prominent north-south corridor of MT-16 and the descriptive local paths of Outlaw Coulee Rd and Outlook Bench Rd. The naming of Sooline Rd reflects the significant historical presence of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad in the area, which was vital for the regional agricultural economy.
