1983 Map of Colgan SE

About this map

Lincoln Valley and the elevated terrain of Twin Butte dominate this rural landscape of Divide County in the early 1980s. The map illustrates a remote prairie environment where human presence is marked by isolated Storage Bins and religious landmarks like Twin Butte Ch and Trinity Ch. The township of Alexandria and the locality of Burg are depicted within a grid of section lines and unimproved roads, reflecting the agricultural character of the High Plains. Small glacial wetlands or potholes are scattered throughout, typical of the regional topography. A small Cem and local Gravel Pits provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians documenting the physical development of this corner of North Dakota.
