This circa 1875 map shows the survey grid in the eastern part of North Dakota, and especially along the Pembina River to St. Joseph, encompassing the Métis settlements. In addition, the survey runs along the Northern Pacific Railroad track from Jamestown to Fargo and ending east of Edwinton. Counties in southern Dakota have been named after Presidents Lincoln and Grant.
