1964 Map of Backoo
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Icelandic State Park and the winding Tongue River define the southern landscape of this mid-1960s North Dakota survey. The small settlements of Akra and Backoo serve as local hubs along the Great Northern railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the prairie. This map provides a clear view of the region's mid-century infrastructure and rural recreation, featuring the Renwick Dam, a Drive-in Theater, and the Hornbaker Airport. Local governance and aviation are further marked by the Townhall in Backoo and the Cavalier Airport further east. The abundance of Gravel Pits and a Sandpit near the river suggests the importance of local material extraction for road building and maintenance in Pembina County during this era.
