1948 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington serves as the focal point of this North Dakota landscape, situated at the confluence where the Des Lacs River joins the meandering Souris River. The topography is defined by the deep valley cut through the plains, with complex coulees like Larsons Coulee carving into the surrounding uplands. A 1979 photorevision of the original 1948 survey shows the development of the Minot Country Club and infrastructure like the Pump Sta and Irrigation Ditch, reflecting the management of water resources in this prairie environment. Transportation and community life are anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad and rural institutions including School No 2 and the Evangelical Ch. The map provides a detailed record of land use and civil boundaries across the townships of Waterford, Kirkelie, and Eureka.
