About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, its course marked by the Old Indian Reservation Boundary and the presence of Warsing Dam. The town of Sheyenne serves as the primary hub, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad line. Local genealogy is well-represented through the presence of several burying grounds, including Riverside Cem near the riverbanks and Holy Cross Cem further south.

Conservation efforts dominate the central terrain, which includes the Warsing Lake State Wildlife Management Area and the Sheyenne State Wildlife Management Area. The map also shows the small rail settlement of Divide to the south. The land is organized into named tracts like Gates, Bush, and Flats, reflecting the agricultural and natural character of this North Dakota region during the mid-20th century.
