1962 Map of Egeland SE

About this map

Egeland sits at the northern edge of this prairie landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural townships of Victor, Cando, and Bethel. The Great Northern railroad cuts a diagonal path across the northeastern section, a vital transit link for the grain-producing region in the early 1960s. For those tracing family history, the Egeland Cem is clearly marked just south of the town site. The terrain is characterized by the complex wetland depressions typical of the Missouri River Basin development area, with numerous small potholes and ponds scattered across the plains of Paulson. A solitary Radio Tower stands as a modern landmark against the traditional section-line road grid, which is further detailed by fine dashed lines representing fence and field boundaries from the era.
