1968 Map of Beulah

About this map

Beulah sits at the confluence of the Knife River and Spring Creek, serving as a central hub for Mercer County's energy and agricultural activities during the late 1960s and 1970s. The landscape is defined by the industrial footprint of the Strip Mine to the northeast and numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the township. Transport and infrastructure are prominent, with the Burlington Northern railroad and the Beulah Airport facilitating movement through this prairie region. Notable for genealogists are the family-named Boeckel Cem and Sarah Cem, alongside the primary town Cem. The presence of an Old RR Grade south of town indicates an evolving rail network, while local culture is reflected in the Rodeo Grounds and Beulah Park near the riverbanks.
