Township 147‑64
Larrabee Township is bordered on the north by Eddy County, east by Florence, south by Haven and west by Nordmore.
The landscape is valley land with the usual steep slopes extending back two miles on each side of almost level valley bottom. It is drained by the James River, which flows through the township.
Blue Cloud Lake is located on Sections 13‑23‑24. Rusten Slough is found on Sections 18‑19. The Northeast quarter of section 19 is designated as the State Game and Fish Land.
The Great Northern Railroad passes through the township.
The survey report was filed at Yankton, Dakota Territory on February 27, 1883. The subdivisions were surveyed by Charles Scott and E.S. Sturtevant as well as the north, south and west boundaries, in October 1882. The west boundary was measured by Milton Nye in June 1882.
There are 22,916.22 acres in the township.
William Larrabee, who lived on the Southeast 25, was the only settler here when the land was surveyed. In 1900 there were 56 open quarters.
