About this map

Schefield anchors this prairie landscape on the border of Stark and Hettinger Counties, serving as a small focal point in an area dominated by rural land tracts and seasonal watercourses. The topographic data reveals a network of drainage patterns, most notably Antelope Creek and Dry Creek, which carve winding paths through the undulating terrain. A small Cemetery and multiple Wells near the settlement provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local family roots in this corner of North Dakota.

Modern activity is represented by the Tri State Speedway located in the northern portion of the map, contrasting with the traditional agricultural character of the region. The presence of a Gravel Pit and various fence lines, marked by fine red dashed lines, illustrates the functional division of the land during the early 1970s. Large landholdings under names like Kunze and Clark help researchers identify historical property ownership and farm boundaries as they existed during this era of North Dakota’s development.
