1949 Map of Burlington NW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Minot Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of the eastern landscape in this survey of Ward County, reflecting mid-century defense infrastructure on the Great Plains. The map details a rural township structure defined by the townships of Muskego, Van Buren, St Marys, and Waterford, where scattered one-room schoolhouses such as Stamen School No 2 and School No 4 served a dispersed farming population. In the southwest corner, the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge marks a shift toward conservation near the river valley. Revision data from 1977 indicates the expansion of modern features alongside established water bodies like Egg Creek, showing the gradual modernization of the North Dakota prairie while the underlying grid of sections and the county boundary between Renville County and Ward County remains constant.
