About this map

The Sheyenne National Grassland dominates this portion of Richland County, where the transition from protected prairie to agricultural sections is marked by a grid of rural schools and family landmarks. This 1998 revision, based on earlier surveys and 1992 imagery, shows the established homestead patterns of Viking, Freeman, and Garborg townships.

Genealogists can trace early community hubs through the presence of the United Lutheran Ch and several burial sites, including Nordmanna Cem and Freeman Cem. The map documents a rural education network that was once the backbone of the region, specifically identifying School No 34, School No 2, and the Freeman Sch. Scattered clusters of Silos throughout the sections emphasize the enduring grain-farming economy of this North Dakota landscape.
