1969 Map of Burt

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Cannonball River meanders across this Hettinger County landscape, its winding course defining the northern half of the territory before the terrain rises sharply toward the Hogs Back Buttes in the south. In the late 1960s, the area's economy was anchored by a dual-rail network, with the Burlington Northern serving the settlement of Burt and the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific passing through Watrous. These transportation corridors reflect the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure, supported by features like the Gravel Pit and isolated family-named landmarks such as Mehrer. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies small, significant sites like Bethany Cem and the seasonal flows of Spring Creek, providing a clear view of the rural settlement patterns in southwest North Dakota.
