About this map

The James River snakes south through the heart of this Stutsman County landscape, defining the topography of the region before reaching the Ypsilanti Dam. The small settlement of Ypsilanti sits on the eastern bank of the river, where the local street grid, including 3rd St S, meets the water's edge. Just south of the village lies the Valley Cemetery, a key site for genealogical research in this rural township.

Further north, the map identifies the location of Reeves, positioned along the section lines of the expansive North Dakota prairie. The drainage of Sevenmile Coulee joins the river valley from the northwest, illustrating the natural water management of the plains. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the rural road network, from 88th Ave SE to 93rd Ave SE, which serves the agricultural homesteads throughout the quadrangle.
