About this map

Tom Berg Lake and the winding course of the Little Muddy River define this portion of Williams County, where the landscape is dotted with numerous wetlands and prairie potholes. This rural corner of North Dakota is characterized by its glacial topography, featuring several large water bodies including Peterson Slough, Black Slough, Berg Slough, and Helle Slough. The rectilinear grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as 83rd St NW and 75th St NW, provides the primary structure for the agricultural community.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Bethel Cem and Saint Pauls Cem particularly useful for tracing early settlement patterns. These landmarks, alongside the named sloughs and river, provide a clear picture of the environment where local families established their homesteads. The map illustrates a region where water management and dry-land farming are central to the way of life.
