1950 Map of Antler NW

About this map

The Canada-United States border defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the rural townships of Wheaton, Eden, Hurley, and Hoffman meet. Surveyed just after the war, the map reveals a prairie landscape meticulously organized by the Public Land Survey System, where local life centered around the Haas Ch and the Fairview Sch No 1. The drainage patterns of Bank Creek wind through the southern sections of the quadrangle, punctuated by scattered Gravel Pit operations that hint at the local geology. This era represents a period of established agricultural settlement in Bottineau County and Renville County, documenting the precise location of homesteads and section lines as they existed in the mid-20th century.
