1967 Map of Buttzville

About this map

The Maple River and its South Branch Maple River meander through this Ransom County landscape, defining the topography of the central North Dakota plains in the late 1960s. The village of Buttzville serves as a focal point in the southeast, situated along the tracks of the Northern Pacific railroad. This area is divided into several rural townships including Moore, Liberty, Tuller, and Casey, each reflecting the organized settlement patterns of the region. Scattered throughout the townships are localized landmarks such as a rural Townhall and the West St Olaf Ch, which anchor the farming community. The map also reveals the industrial touchpoints of the era, specifically extraction sites like a Sandpit and Gravel Pits near the riverbanks, which supported local infrastructure and development during the Missouri River Basin development period.
