USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The Canada United States border defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the agricultural plains meet a significant industrial corridor in the mid-20th century. The towns of Columbus, Larson, and Kincaid are situated along a dense network of competing rail lines, including the Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie. This infrastructure supported a robust extraction economy, evidenced by the extensive Coal Field and an active Strip Mine west of Kincaid.
