About this map

The town of St Thomas serves as the primary hub on this Red River Valley survey, situated alongside the Burlington Northern railroad. The surrounding landscape is characterized by its organized agricultural grid, punctuated by landmarks such as the St Thomas Municipal Airfield and the Sewage Disposal Ponds just south of the town center. Local drainage is managed by a network of waterways including Willow Creek and the extensive County Ditch No 67A, which snakes through the eastern townships.

Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller communities like Auburn near the southern boundary, where the railroad line continues toward the Walsh County line. The map identifies several burial sites essential for family research, including St Johns Cem and Landstad Cem. The transition from Pembina County into the townships of Farmington and Martin is clearly delineated, showing the rural distribution of farmsteads during the early 1970s.
