1954 Map of Souris SE

About this map

Stone Creek winds through a landscape of glacial depressions and prairie rises in this mid-century survey of the North Dakota borderlands. The map is defined by the rigid township and range system, where section lines divide the rural terrain into named districts such as Peabody, Pickering, Whitby, and Oakvalley. These designations often reflect the earliest organized civil townships, preserving the local political geography of the era. Settlement is sparse, characterized by isolated farmsteads connected by a grid of unimproved roads and light-duty routes.
