1981 Map of Epworth SE

About this map

Townhall stands as a focal point in this portion of Mountrail County, serving the rural community during the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage of Shell Creek to the west and the pronounced incision of Spring Coulee to the east. This survey reveals a high-plains topography organized into distinct townships including Oakland, Osloe, Shell, and Model. The land use is primarily agricultural, marked by section-line roads and scattered infrastructure like a local Gravel Pit and a subterranean Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches. The numerous small potholes and depressions scattered across the terrain indicate the glacial heritage of the North Dakota prairie, while the presence of a centralized community hall suggests the enduring social organization of these rural townships in the late twentieth century.
