About this map

The Red River Valley south of Grand Forks is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and the winding paths of prairie waterways. At the center of this landscape, the town of Thompson serves as a local hub, anchored by its proximity to North-South transportation corridors. The map reveals a cluster of burial grounds and religious sites essential for genealogical research, including Saint Judes Cem, Saint James Cem, and the Thompson Cem located just west of the town center.

Hydrological features like Elm Coulee and Cole Cr meander through the flat terrain, crossing beneath rural roads such as Co Rd 8 and Co Rd 6. Further north, the outskirts of the regional center show residential development near S Columbia Rd, while the small settlement of Merrifield sits at a major rural junction. The inclusion of the Walle Lutheran Church Cem to the east provides a clear record of the area's established rural congregations.
