About this map

North Cedar Creek and its southern tributaries define the drainage patterns across this section of the northern Great Plains, cutting through a landscape of high prairie and isolated rises. The land is organized into sprawling civil townships including Hume, Carroll, and Stillwater, reflecting the wide-open ranching and farming character of the region in the early 1970s. Near the center of the sheet, the small settlement of Warnke sits among a network of section-line roads and scattered wells.

Genealogists will find notable landmarks preserved on this survey, such as Pierce Cem in the north and Cedar Cem near the Slope and Bowman County line. The terrain is further distinguished by the Bob Denny Hills in the northwest, providing a clear view of the topographic relief that characterizes this part of North Dakota. The presence of numerous wells and intermittent springs emphasizes the importance of water management in this high-plains environment.
