1975 Map of Driscoll

About this map

Driscoll sits as the central hub of this Burleigh County landscape during the mid-1970s, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and a major pipeline cross the prairie. The settlement pattern is defined by rural townsite plats and dispersed homesteads, including the smaller locale of Trautman to the south. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks like the Driscoll Cem and the recreational space at Driscoll Sibley Park, while the geography is shaped by water features such as Cottonwood Lake, Random Slough, and Random Creek. Numerous Gravel Pits suggest an active local extraction industry supporting the roads and rail lines that connect this region of North Dakota. The map captures the transition of the Great Plains environment, where natural hydrology meets industrial infrastructure.
