  +                            |During the Spring 2015 semester, there were five student groups with three groups continuing and expanding on themes from the previous semester. The Computer Science students continued developing the web interface with the initial basic version of the atlas website ready by the end of the semester. A fifth group consisted of two Geography students who worked on a new topic. An additional sixth group, consisting of Michael Niedzielski and Michael Jacobs, worked on mapping railroads growth and contraction over time.

We will engage in one-on-one interviews not for the purpose of making broad generalizations about each ethnic group. Rather, we want the general public to be aware that ethnicity itself is culturally constructed and something that is learned, rather than hard-wired to one’s biological make-up.

We will be looking at general causations  of abandonment across the state, and take an in depth look at why select towns across the state were settled and then abandoned. More specifically, we will choose four towns in the following counties: Grand Forks, Burleigh/Morton, Bowman/Hettinger, and Sargent, to closely examine and create a strong narrative based on the story of each of these towns. Each county was chosen so as to help represent a larger image of the state, taking in to account geographic differences and historical events that have shaped the state.
