About this map

Pembina Valley dominates the central portion of this Cavalier County landscape, where the Pembina River and its tributaries carve deep relief into the surrounding plains. The settlement of Vang sits along 103rd St NE, serving as a local anchor in an area defined by isolated farmsteads and significant topographical landmarks. Numerous named summits rise from the valley floor, including Three Sisters Hill, Norman Otto Hill, and Old Baldy, which provide clear orientation points for researchers tracing the historical geography of the region.

Local navigation and recreational access are marked by an intricate network of paths such as Trapper's Ridge Trail, Fisher's Descent Trail, and Lady Slipper Trail I. For genealogists, the map identifies the Gospel Tabernacle and a nearby Cem, recording these spiritual and community focal points as they existed in the early 21st century. The drainage patterns of the Little N Pembina River illustrate the complex hydrology that influenced original land divisions and road placement throughout the township sections.
