About this map

The White Earth River carves a deep valley through the high plains of the Mountrail and Williams County border in this 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the flat upland agricultural sections and the broken terrain of Myrtle Valley. Cultural landmarks of the early homesteading era remain visible through sites like the Houstveit Sch and the Kristiansand Cem in the southern portion of the map.

Industrial activity is noted by numerous extractive sites and energy infrastructure, including a Scoria Pit, multiple Gravel Pit locations, and an Oil Well in the western reaches. The White Earth corporate boundary touches the northern edge of the sheet, where the White Earth Cem sits overlooking the river. To the south, the wide drainage of the Dry Fork provides another significant geological feature in this prairie environment.
