1967 Map of Blunt NW

About this map

Blaine Sch stands as a focal point in this sparsely populated agricultural landscape of Sully County during the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of intermittent drainages and natural depressions, with Post Lake situated in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 1967 field-checked survey reveals the deliberate organization of the land into townships and ranges, including T. 114 N. and T. 113 N., where scattered wells and unimproved dirt roads suggest a reliance on localized water sources and seasonal farming access. A designated Landing Area reflects the integration of light aviation into the rural economy, likely for crop management or transport across these expansive prairie tracts. The map provides a clear look at the drainage patterns flowing toward the Missouri River Basin, detailing the subtle elevation changes that shaped local land use and infrastructure.
