1953 Map of Adrian

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The James River valley carves a distinct path through the North Dakota plains, defining the character of this mid-century rural landscape. The settlement of Adrian sits along the Northern Pacific railroad line, which follows the river's western bank through Adrian and Saratoga townships. The topography is marked by several deep coulees and drainages, most notably Bone Hill Creek and Dry Creek, which feed into the main river channel from the west. This 1953 survey captures a snapshot of a late-pioneer agricultural economy, where the railroad still served as the primary artery for local commerce. Throughout the region, small-scale landmarks such as School No 3 in Russell and several Gravel Pit operations near Bone Hill provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of LaMoure County's rural infrastructure.
