These pages are devoted to North Dakota, and the beautiful scenes of the western section of the state are shown, proving that North Dakota is one of the most scenic states in the country. A scene taken in Roosevelt park in Minot is shown. Minot is described as a city of 200 acres of parks, of which Roosevelt park is the most complete in the state. “It contains a finely stocked Zoo, beautiful landscape gardens, swimming pools. One of the best tourist parks in North Dakota,” the booklet states.
