1978 Map of Chaseley

About this map

Chaseley, Haaland, Silver Lake, and Progress townships define this central North Dakota landscape, where the prairie is dotted by numerous small wetlands and sloughs. The small settlement of Chaseley serves as a local hub along the Burlington Northern railroad line, supported by the Chaseley Cem nearby. Much of the surrounding terrain is dedicated to conservation, with several designated National Waterfowl Production Area (NWPA) tracts protecting the region's vital migratory bird habitat. The presence of a Gravel Pit near the township lines suggests the local extraction industry that supported road building across these rural sections. This 1978 survey, published by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the North Dakota Water Commission, provides a clear view of the cadastral grid and land use patterns before modern agricultural shifts.
