An Industrial Railroad cuts through the northern landscape of McHenry and Ward counties, reflecting the region's mid-century shift toward large-scale resource extraction. The southwestern quadrant is dominated by a substantial Strip Mine and Gravel Pit, industrial features that contrast with the conservation efforts seen at the National Waterfowl Production Area. This 1981 mapping captures a complex intersection of land uses, where drainage features like Blacktail Coulee and Woodliff Coulee traverse open territory marked by scattered rural infrastructure.
