1968 Map of Forbes
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Forbes sits at the center of this 1968 land study, positioned precisely on the border between Dickey Co and McPherson Co. The settlement's infrastructure at this time is defined by the Great Northern railroad line, which skirts the northern edge of the town near the Sewage Disposal Pond and the local Forbes Cem. The landscape transitions from the North Dakota plains into South Dakota, marked by large territorial divisions including Lorraine, Wachter, and Weber. These township-level designations reflect the late-1960s agricultural organization of the region. The map captures a moment of established rail-dependent commerce before the widespread shift in mid-century rural logistics, showing the primary transport corridors and local landmarks vital to the community's identity.
