1968 Map of Forbes NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Glacial potholes and small prairie lakes dot the landscape along the North Dakota South Dakota border, where the townships of Albertha and Lorraine meet the southern districts of Wacker and Weber. This survey, field-checked in the late 1960s, reveals a remote agricultural region centered on communal and civic life. The Spring Creek Colony stands out as a primary settlement in the southeast, while the lone Townhall and local burial sites like St Peters Cem and Weber Cem anchor the surrounding rural sections. The terrain is defined by low-lying drainages including Webers Gulch and Hoevens Gulch, which cut through the otherwise level plains, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped late-century land use in both Dickey and McPherson Counties.
