1962 Map of Egeland
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The agrarian landscape of Towner County is defined here by the intersection of two major rail systems during the early 1960s. Egeland serves as the primary hub where the Soo Line and Great Northern railroads converge, facilitating the movement of grain from this prairie region. The map reveals the precise placement of smaller loading points and sidings, including Olmstead to the east and Barks Spur to the northwest. This topography is characterized by countless small wetlands and depressions typical of the Missouri River Basin development area. Beyond the settlements, the land is organized into distinct townships such as Twin Hill, Crocus, and Teddy, with fine red dashed lines indicating the field boundaries and fence lines visible from aerial surveys of the era.
