About this map

Waterloo Lake and its surrounding wetlands serve as a central feature of this 1970s landscape on the border of Cavalier and Walsh counties. Much of the western terrain is protected as a National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting a region dedicated to conservation alongside agriculture. The town of Milton occupies the northern edge, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of early prairie settlement, including the Hitterdal Ch and adjacent Hitterdal Cem, as well as St Stephans Ch. The hydrology of the area is defined by the convergence of the North Branch, Middle Branch, and South Branch Park River, which cut through the townships of Osford, Montrose, Silvesta, and Tiber. Numerous gravel pits across the sheet indicate the importance of local material extraction for the region's road network.
