1980 Map of Almont West

About this map

Almont sits at the edge of the Curlew Valley, where the drainage of Big Muddy Creek shapes the local topography. This 1980 edition captures a predominantly rural landscape at the border of Morton and Grant counties, characterized by scattered water sources labeled as Well and Wells across the plateau. The terrain is defined by the Ramsland Hills in the northwest, a series of elevations that give way to the lower valley floor near the settlement. Industrial and resource-based activities are evidenced by markings for Prospects and a Gravel Pit, indicating small-scale excavation and mineral exploration typical of the region's mid-century development. The map also includes fine details such as selected fence lines, which provide a rare look at the precise boundaries of land use and property management during this era in western North Dakota.
