Map - Rand, McNally & Co., North Dakota, 1889
A colored map of North Dakota (page 148) from an "Atlas of the World," printed by Rand, McNally & Co. The map details counties and locations within the state, highlighting the early Jewish settlement of Schapera (Coordinates P-6), which was the early name for the colony's post office in what is now Garske, Ramsey County, North Dakota, settled by Russian Jews in 1883. Schapera was established as a rural post office in the home of postmaster Joseph Schapera in 1887, later known as Ben Zion or Benzion. The image also includes a map of Texas (page 147) from the same atlas. Both maps feature color-coded counties and detailed geographic information.
