1966 Map of Big Woods SW

About this map

The Red River meanders sharply along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, carving a complex series of loops and oxbows through the flat valley floor. In the late 1960s, this landscape was defined by the transition from the wooded corridors of Big Woods and Oak Park to the strictly gridded agricultural townships of Pulaski, Acton, and Walshville. The drainage pattern is dominated by the Forest River and the Marais, which cut across the prairie to join the larger river system. While the terrain is primarily rural, technical infrastructure is marked by a Radio Tower and a Substation, indicating the expansion of regional utilities into these farming communities. This survey is particularly valuable for its detail on local fence and field lines, which were mapped using 1966 aerial photography to provide an exact accounting of the era's land use and property boundaries.
