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 mid-century survey, which documents a transition period for the Ward and Renville county line. While the military presence is a dominant modern landmark, the map also captures an older rural infrastructure represented by a series of numbering schoolhouses, such as Stamen School No 2 and School No 4. The terrain is characterized by the expansive glacial drift plains of North Dakota, with Egg Creek meandering through the township of Van Buren. To the southwest, the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge borders the region, providing a contrast between the preserved natural river valley and the gridded agricultural townships of Muskego, St Marys, and Waterford.
