About this map

Souris River meanders extensively through this McHenry County landscape, creating a complex network of oxbows and wetlands that define the local geography. The settlement of Bantry sits at the southern edge of the survey, where ND-14 provides the primary north-south transit corridor. The map reveals the intricate water management and crossing points essential to the area, specifically identifying Hillman Bridge and Johnson Bridge as key infrastructure over the river and its tributary, Willow Cr. Genealogy researchers will find the Melankton Cem located in the northwest quadrant along CR-16, positioned amidst a strictly organized grid of rural section roads. This survey illustrates the persistence of a remote prairie community and its relationship with the fluctuating water levels of the Souris basin in the early 21st century.
