1972 Map of Easby

About this map

Easby sits at a rail junction in Cavalier County during the early 1970s, serving as a quiet focal point in this section of the Red River Valley upland. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts diagonally through the townships of Manilla and Easby, illustrating the historical importance of the rail line to the local agricultural economy. The landscape is defined by its sectional grid, punctuated by scattered Gravel Pits and utility infrastructure like the Radio Tower Substation. Small, unnamed water bodies and a local Cem reflect the sparse, functional layout of the prairie. This survey captures the region just before significant modern agricultural shifts, documenting the precise footprints of farmsteads and field boundaries across the townships of Elgin, Perry, and Osnabrock.
