1978 Map of Epping

About this map

The Burlington Northern railroad serves as the primary corridor through this section of Williams County, connecting the settlements of Epping and Wheelock. This late 1970s landscape is defined by its agricultural character and the transition between established community hubs and the surrounding prairie. Significant local history is preserved at the Wheelock Cem and Epping Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the generations that settled this region. Water features like Stony Creek and Springbrook navigate the terrain, while industrial activity is noted by several Gravel Pits and a Gravel Pit. The map also captures smaller administrative landmarks like the Townhall and infrastructure such as a Radio Tower, illustrating the functional layout of North Dakota rural life before further modern expansion.
