The results of the survey have been merged with the master list of German-Russian settlements in the U.S. compiled from older sources. There are now 3,347 places on the list. Of those, 1,371 came from the survey. That's a 41% increase. This exercise proved to be very productive.
Above is a chart and below are the numbers in a more readable format. The top states should be of no surprise to anyone other than questioning if there are indeed 441 towns in North Dakota. I had asked myself that question many months ago when there were only 404 places for North Dakota on the list. Keep in mind that there are many ghost towns, unincorporated communities, populated places, historical townships and historical post offices from the turn of the last century which were reported and are included on the list.
