About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad corridor anchors this mid-century survey of the Red River Valley transition, passing directly through the small settlement of Syre. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the rectilinear grid of township boundaries like Rockwell, Homelake, and Hagen, and the meandering, natural course of Coon Creek.

Large-scale conservation efforts are evident through numerous dedicated tracts, including the Syre State Wildlife Management Area and the Dalby State Wildlife Management Area. Local landmarks such as the Townhall and a rural Cem suggest the social centers of these farming townships during the 1960s. The map also records industrial sites like a Gravel Pit and the specific line where Norman Co Clay Co meet, providing a detailed record of the administrative and natural geography of the region.
