1967 Map of Fingal SW

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Sheyenne River snakes through the western portion of this Barnes County landscape, carving a deep valley that stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding plateau. Surveyed in the late 1960s as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, the map documents a strictly rural township structure organized into sections like Marsh, Cubao, Nelson, and Norma. Local governance and community life are anchored by multiple Townhall locations, while a small Cem and several Gravel Pits suggest the localized nature of early infrastructure and memorial sites. The topographic detail reveals a landscape heavily shaped by water management, evidenced by the Spillway Elev 1318 and numerous glacial depressions across the prairie. This document serves as a clear record of North Dakota’s agrarian geography during the mid-20th century, before more modern industrial shifts.
