 There is a special place just a few miles northeast of Anamoose that looks like a small piece of the Badlands. It came to be in the mid 1890's when the Great Northern Railroad cut through the limestone hill to put a track from Fargo to Minot. The scenery is ruggedly beautiful. Everything is white or a weatherized yellowish gray with bits of rust color stains appearing in sports. Erosion has made white pillar formations and small caves.To get to the Cuts go north of Anamoose 1/2 mile to the Catholic Cemetery. Turn east and go seven miles to a T in the road. Go north 1 mile to a farmstead. Take the road around the west side of the farm and continue on to the railroad track. Directly south of the railroad tracks, take a trail west for 6/10th of a mile until you come to a dead end by the track. You will need to walk back along the railroad track about 1/2 mile to see the CUTS. You can also stop along the road to view the CUTS from above.

Historical Ranch Moorhead Ranch Number 2 has a unique history and look. It is located 3 miles south & 4 miles west of Anamoose. E. P. Moorhead came from Minnesota and bought the farm in 1932 looking for oil. He hired an oil drilling rig, but never found oil. He built a 1/4th mile rock wall east of the house. The walls are approximately 4 ft. tall and about 16 inches thick. An elevator was moved out to he farm. He owned milk cows, raised potatoes and had a potato warehouse in Anamoose. After prohibition he had Grain Belt trucks that delivered beer. A worker was poisoned in the bunk house but no one was ever convicted. EP Moorhead was the only man in the county with a 3 seater car. The car had a glass divider between the driver and the 2 passengers similar to a chauffeurs cart. Moorhead only lived on the farm from 1932 to 1935 when he died in an accident. His wife was in the hospital in Minot after having her appendix removed. His housekeeper was driving him to Minot to see her but Moorhead thought she was driving too slow. He took over the driving and had an accident by Bergen. He died 2 weeks later in his garden from a blood clot. His wife lived on the farm another year. The house, horse barn, and fence are original. The house has a large stone fireplace. When Otto Giegle moved on the farm the fireplace was painted a bright red and the kitchen cupboards were black.
