About this map

Minot and its northern outskirts are captured here during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The northern edge of the city is defined by the burgeoning Minot International Airport and institutional developments like the North Hill Sch. To the north, the small settlement of Ruthville sits at a crossroads, while the rural sections of Eureka and McKinley townships maintain their agricultural character, marked by scattered schools like School No 4 and the North Prairie Ch.

The physical landscape is shaped by the glacial potholes and drainages typical of the Ward County region, including Livingston Lake and Livingston Creek. The Great Northern railroad cuts through the eastern portion of the map, providing a vital industrial corridor that supported local extraction at sites such as the Gravel Pit. Genealogists may find interest in the documented location of Sunset Memorial Gardens (Cemetery), which serves as a landmark on the plain north of the city center.
