About this map

Minot and its northern outskirts are captured here during a period of significant mid-century expansion into Harrison and Nedrose townships. The map shows the northward growth of the city along the 83 corridor toward Ruthville, with a distinct Trailer Park and residential development marked in purple to reflect later updates. The presence of Minot International Airport and a prominent Radio Tower indicate the area's increasing role as a regional transportation and communication hub.

Rural landmarks like North Prairie Ch and School No 4 remain amidst the section lines, representing the agricultural foundation of the high plains before the encroaching urban limits. Natural drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Livingston Creek and the waters of Livingston Lake, while the local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit located near the eastern township boundaries.
