About this map

Alamo sits at the center of this 1970s landscape in Williams County, marked by the industrial and agricultural infrastructure of the northern plains. The town is defined by its connection to the Burlington Northern railroad, which runs alongside Cottonwood Lake. The map reveals a working landscape with numerous Storage Bins and a Landing Strip supporting local transport and grain storage.

South of the corporate boundary, the Little Muddy River meanders through Ellisville, where the Ellisville Community Bldg serves as a local landmark. Traces of resource extraction are evident at the Mine and Gravel Pit near the lake. For genealogists and local historians, the Alamo Cem and the specific placement of rural wells and storage facilities provide a clear picture of the community's footprint during this era of late 20th-century development.
