About this map

Thirtymile Creek winds through the northern and eastern sections of this high plains landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns that define Hettinger County. The map provides a detailed view of the rural township structure at the end of the 1960s, noting the distribution of local property and section lines across the Steiner and Walker areas.

The presence of scattered infrastructure, such as a Gravel Pit and several isolated Well sites, points to the local industrial and agricultural activities of the era. South of these elevations, Spring Creek crosses the southwestern corner near Beery, marking a distinct hydrological break in the otherwise steady rise of the terrain toward the Solon district. This survey captures a moment in North Dakota's land use history just as photogrammetric mapping methods were becoming standard for identifying small-scale rural features.
