About this map

Civil townships and scattered rural landmarks define this prairie landscape in Bottineau County, surveyed for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The territory is divided into the administrative blocks of Bentinck, Sergius, Hastings, and Brander, where the economy was rooted in small-scale farming and local community centers. Cultural life in the early 1950s centered on sites like St Paul Ch and the centrally located Town Hall. The presence of the Weak Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this section of the Great Plains. The topography, mapped via plane-table methods and aerial photography from 1948, shows the subtle drainage patterns and depressions characteristic of this northern region near the Canadian border.
