About this map

Little Beaver Creek and Andrews Creek carve through the high plains of Golden Valley County, framing the eastern edge of Beach, North Dakota. In the early 1980s, the community functioned as a critical shipping point for the region's agricultural output, evidenced by the Grain Elevator and the heavy-duty rails of the Burlington Northern line. The infrastructure of the town is well-documented, including the local Airport, an Athletic Field, and Sewage Disposal Ponds west of the main settlement.

To the northeast, the topography rises toward Saddle Butte and the Delhi area, where the landscape is punctuated by a Scoria Pit and numerous wells. A significant landmark in this prairie setting is the Home on the Range Ranch, accompanied by a single nearby Grave. The map captures the alignment of Interstate 94 as it cuts across the landscape, following the general path of the railroad and older routes like Highway 10.
