1962 Map of Egeland SW

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Mauvais Coulee meanders through this portion of Towner County, North Dakota, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by numerous small wetlands and glacial depressions. This 1962 field-checked survey reveals an agricultural terrain partitioned by township lines T. 159 N. and T. 158 N., where family-named land divisions like Gerrard, Paulson, Olson, and Cando reflect the era's rural land tenure. The Great Northern rail corridor cuts through the southwestern corner, providing the vital transportation link for this prairie region. Industrial activity is visible in the scattered Gravel Pits concentrated near the coulee, likely serving local road construction and maintenance needs during the early 1960s. The map captures the quiet, systematic development of the Missouri River Basin project, emphasizing the importance of water management and resource extraction in the Great Plains.
