1970 Map of Bluegrass

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bluegrass and the small settlement of Briar anchor this 1970 snapshot of the rolling North Dakota landscape near the border of Oliver and Morton counties. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by both land and water, most notably at the Storm Creek State Game Management Area where Storm Creek Lake is held back by a designated earthen dam. The presence of a Lignite Pit in the northern section of the sheet points to the region's coal-mining heritage, while several marked wells indicate a reliance on underground water sources for agricultural and domestic use. The prairie terrain is deeply dissected by a network of drainage systems including Sweet Briar Creek, Hailstone Creek, and Muskrat Creek, which converge to define the local geography and property boundaries during this era of post-war development.
