1970 Map of Sarles NE

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the prairie of Cavalier County meets the Manitoba province line. The area is characterized by scattered wetlands and glacial depressions typical of the Red River Valley upland, spanning portions of Glenila, Byron, and Grey townships. Local history is anchored at the Byron Cem, a key landmark for genealogical research in this sparsely settled region. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of multiple excavations, including Gravel Pits and a smaller Gravel Pit, which supported the construction of the grid-like section roads that crisscross the agricultural terrain. This survey was field checked in 1970, capturing the rural character of the borderlands before modern consolidation.
