About this map

Cottonwood Creek and Maple Creek meander through this prairie landscape in LaMoure County, defining the drainage patterns of the Glenmore, Russell, Nora, and Waano civil townships. The map documents a transition in transportation, showing the active Burlington Northern Railroad alongside an Old Grade, reflecting the changing rail infrastructure of the late 20th century. At Edgeley Junction, the convergence of these routes marks a historic point of local connectivity.

Conservation efforts are prominent across the terrain, notably within the National Waterfowl Production Area, which preserves the vital prairie pothole wetlands of the region. Local civic life is anchored by a Townhall and a designated Rest Area, while industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a Sandpit. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and natural resource management in North Dakota during the early 1980s.
