About this map

South Heart stands at the northern edge of this Stark County landscape, where the BNSF Railway and W Main St corridor facilitate the region's agricultural and transit economy. The settlement is anchored by local landmarks such as Saint Mary's Cem, while the rail line extends eastward toward the siding at Eland. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Heart River and its various tributaries, including N Cr and Ash Cr, which carve into the rolling prairie.

Prominent topographic features like White Butte rise above the section-line road network, providing a clear view of the traditional North Dakota township and range surveying system. The map documents a landscape of sparse ranching and farming operations connected by a grid of routes such as 120th Ave SW and 40th St SW, illustrating the persistent rural character of the High Plains south of the Interstate corridor.
