About this map

The Chicago and North Western railway cuts across the northern section of this Dakota prairie landscape, marking the primary transportation artery for the rural townships of Olean, Warren, Turton, and Ash. This 1973 field-checked survey reveals a sparsely populated agricultural region defined by section lines and wide-open spaces. A local Townhall stands centrally in Warren Township, serving as a civic anchor for the surrounding farmsteads.

Modern infrastructure of the early 1970s is represented by the Radio Tower (KCOO), while the physical geography is punctuated by several Gravel Pit sites and a perennial Spring. The map captures the county line transition between Spink and Clark Counties, providing a clear record of the rural road network and land divisions that shaped these communities during the latter half of the twentieth century.
