1971 Map of Buxton NW

About this map

The county boundary of Grand Forks Co Traill Co bisects this agricultural landscape, recorded during a 1971 topographic survey. The map reveals the organized township structures of Michigan, Union, Morgan, and Buxton, where a network of section roads and drainage channels like Drain supports the region's farming economy. The meandering course of Cole Creek provides one of the few natural breaks in the grid, while small-scale resource extraction is evident in several Gravel Pit sites scattered across the prairie. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies specific community landmarks such as Calvary Cem and multiple Townhall locations, which served as civic anchors for the surrounding rural population during the early 1970s.
