1973 Map of Boyle

About this map

Green River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its course marked by a Gaging Sta and seasonal flow patterns typical of the North Dakota plains. The map captures a transitional rural landscape along the border of Dunn Co and Stark Co, where the arrival of modern infrastructure is evident. The southern edge is defined by the heavy rail corridor of the Burlington Northern, running parallel to the highway system. Large-scale earthwork is noted at a local Gravel Pit, providing insight into the localized extraction industries supporting the region's road and rail network. The topography is dominated by an intricate network of draws and ridges, with numerous Spring and Well locations indicating the vital importance of water management in this agricultural and industrial setting during the early 1970s.
