1973 Map of Emerson

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Emerson serves as the central focal point of this western North Dakota landscape, situated just north of a sharp bend in the Knife River. The 1970s terrain is defined by the winding paths of Crooked Creek and Stray Creek, which carve through the high plains of Dunn County. Notable for genealogists and local historians are the rural educational landmarks of Iota Sch No 5 and Iota Sch No 1, which reflect the distributed settlement pattern of this ranching and farming region. The presence of a Landing Strip and several Gravel Pits speaks to the infrastructure required for the area's transport and local industry. Numerous natural Springs are mapped throughout the coulees, marking vital water sources in this semi-arid environment before the turn of the late 20th century.
