1968 Map of Foley
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Foley serves as the central hub of this Benton County landscape, situated where the Great Northern rail line cuts across the prairie. The settlement pattern in the late 1960s reveals a mix of concentrated township centers and small outposts like Gilman, Jakeville, and Parent. The Granite Ledge in the northeast corner and scattered Gravel Pits point to the local geological and extractive industries that shaped the regional economy. Water management is a visible priority, with the Elk River and Stony Brook meandering through the townships of Alberta and Gilmanton, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Sewage Disposal Ponds near the city center. For genealogists, the map identifies specific community landmarks such as Foley Sch and St Johns Cem, providing a precise spatial context for mid-century local history.
