About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, carving a valley through the high plains of the Benson and Eddy county line. The town of Sheyenne serves as the primary hub, where local streets like Cottonwood Ave and Richter Ave meet the broader transit network. To the south, the rail-oriented settlement of Divide sits near the crossing of Main St S.

Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds: Riverside Cem north of town, Holy Cross Cem on the southern outskirts, and the more remote Nystrom Cem to the southeast. The southeastern corner is characterized by the low-lying Tiffany Flats, a distinctive terrain feature surrounded by numerous small prairie wetlands. This survey provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries that organized the agrarian development of this North Dakota region.
