1981 Map of Dickinson

Agricultural settlements like New Hradec, Taylor, and Hebron are connected by a network of roads and rail lines that follow the drainage of the Knife River system. To the south, the landscape opens toward New England and the Cannonball River, while the Heart Butte Reservoir State Wildlife Management Area anchors the eastern reaches. This survey provides a clear view of the regional topography before modern expansion, capturing the relationship between isolated buttes and the river-fed valleys that supported these plains communities.
