About this map

The prairie landscape of Pierce County is defined by a dense network of wetlands and small water bodies like Sand Slough. This region, characterized by its glacial potholes and waterfowl habitat, includes the expansive Pierce County Waterfowl Production Area, which covers a significant portion of the central terrain. The settlement pattern follows a grid of township and range roads, with the community of Rugby visible on the eastern edge and Tunbridge situated to the northwest.

Local history and genealogy researchers can trace significant landmarks throughout the rural sections. The map identifies several burial grounds, including the Persilla Watts Cem near Rugby and the denominationally specific Tunbridge Lutheran Cem and Bethel Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with the clearly marked sections of T156N and T157N, provide a precise geographic framework for documenting family ties and land ownership in this North Dakota agricultural corridor.
