1971 Map of Bisbee North

About this map

The Burlington Northern railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern of this North Dakota prairie landscape, linking the small communities of Perth and Bisbee. This 1971 survey illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid, specifically within the township of Grainfield, where the land is dotted with countless small depressions and water bodies typical of the region's glacial topography. Local civic life is anchored by landmarks like the Townhall and the Bisbee Cem, while industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit and an electrical Substation. The boundary between Towner and Rolette counties bisects the terrain, which is further defined by the winding course of the Big Coulee and local sites like Lyster Field.
