1950 Map of Sheyenne

About this map

Sheyenne serves as the primary hub of activity on this survey, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line near the Sheyenne River. The landscape is defined by the Old Indian Reservation Boundary cutting across the northern sections, separating the township from the rugged terrain of Twin Tree. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Riverside Cem and Holy Cross Cem near the town center, and Morningside Cem to the south. Further down the rail line, the small settlement of Divide marks a key stop before the tracks continue toward New Rockford. The presence of the Warsing Dam and various unnamed springs highlights the importance of water management in this prairie environment, while regional identifiers like Bush and Tiffany describe the character of the surrounding plains.
