1961 Map of Cooperstown East

About this map

Cooperstown serves as the focal point of this North Dakota landscape, situated at the edge of a vast prairie plateau that drops into the meandering valley of the Sheyenne River. The 1961 field check captures the area just as the southern reach of the river was transformed into Lake Ashtabula behind the Ueland Dam. This survey provides a clear look at local infrastructure during the early 1960s, from the Fairground and Cooperstown Airport on the town's outskirts to the rural townships of Washburn and Sverdrup. Genealogists will find the locations of Cooperstown Cem and St George Cem clearly marked, alongside various Gaging Stations and Gravel Pit operations that define the local economy and river management of the era.
