About this map

Little Muddy River meanders through this portion of Williams County, defining a landscape shaped by prairie potholes and glacial depressions. During the mid-1970s, the rural character of the region is evident in the sparse network of gravel roads and the presence of small community centers like Marmon and the Twin Lakes Sch. The topography is punctuated by numerous wetlands and sloughs, including Johnny Anderson Slough, Erdahl Slough, and Marple Slough, which dominate the eastern townships.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as Bethesda Ch in the north and Faith Ch to the south. The proximity of the East Fork Cem to the East Fork Little Muddy River further illustrates the historical settlement patterns along these vital watercourses. The map also records early industrial markers like a Pipeline and several Gravel Pits, reflecting the local economy during this era.
