1966 Map of Arthur SE

About this map

Agricultural township boundaries in Cass County define the landscape of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the systematic grid of the Red River Valley. The area is divided into the districts of Gunkel, Gardner, Rush River, and Berlin, reflecting the early administrative organization of North Dakota's farmland. A key landmark for local history is Herby Ch, located in the southern half of the map. The terrain is characterized by its remarkable flatness, with subtle drainage patterns and occasional farmstead windbreaks breaking the horizon. This survey captures the rural infrastructure before modern shifts in large-scale farming, documenting the precise location of section lines, section-line roads, and individual rural dwellings that supported the local wheat and beet economies of the era.
