1969 Map of Fort Dodge SW

About this map

Mulberry Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a drainage pattern through the townships of Enterprise, Bloom, Ford, and Wilburn. The 1969 field survey reveals a terrain defined by infrastructure and agricultural boundaries rather than dense settlements. A notable industrial presence is marked by a Compressor Station and a nearby Radio Tower, which serve as key landmarks in an otherwise open area. The presence of numerous Pipelines and a network of unimproved roads, including a dedicated Jeep Trail, underscores the region's mid-century role as a corridor for resource transport. This map captures the intersection of rural land divisions and the technological additions of the late 1960s, offering a clear view of how energy infrastructure was integrated into the High Plains environment.
