1980 Map of Brisbane

About this map

Brisbane serves as a central point of reference in this prairie landscape, where the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across the northern terrain. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the late 1970s, including a local Cem and a power Substa near the rail line. Natural drainage is defined by several watercourses including Sixmile Creek, Twomile Creek, and Louise Creek, which navigate the elevation changes around the Antelope Hills. The area's resource extraction is visible through scattered Gravel Pits and gravel pits, reflecting the practical land use of the era. The presence of the Raleigh Reservoir in the northeast corner provides a critical water source for this Grant County environment, emphasizing the importance of water management in the North Dakota plains.
