About this map

Morrison Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Ramsey County quadrangle, situated at an elevation of 1459 feet. The area is defined by a grid-like pattern of rural townships including Hammer, Sullivan, Webster, Harding, Freshwater, and Morris. The small settlement of Garske appears in the northwest, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community.

Educational and religious landmarks are scattered across the prairie, including SS Peter and Paul Ch, School No 4, and School No 2, while School No 1 (Abandoned) reflects the changing rural population in the mid-1950s. The terrain is dotted with numerous small depressions and potholes characteristic of the North Dakota glacial landscape, with several small Gravel Pits indicating local resource extraction used for road building and maintenance during this period.
