About this map

Rural life in the southeastern corner of Douglas County and western Hutchinson County is defined by a grid of fence lines and small community centers in this late 1970s survey. The landscape is marked by several significant burial sites for local families, including Hoffnungsberg Cem, Eigenfeld Cem, and St Marys Cem. Near the small settlement of Townhall, the drainage patterns of North Branch Dry Creek and South Branch Dry Creek carve into the prairie, illustrating the importance of natural watersheds in this agricultural region.

Evidence of shifting transportation and recreation in the 20th century appears in the southern portion of the sheet. An Old Railroad Grade traces a path through the townships of Kulm and Susquehanna, reflecting the era of rail-driven expansion that once connected these plains. To the southwest, the Delmont Country Club sits near the borders of East Choteau and Oak Hollow, showing the development of social infrastructure amidst the traditional farming blocks.
