1983 Map of Fortuna

About this map

Fortuna anchors this northern Divide County landscape during the early 1980s, positioned just south of the Canada United States border. The settlement's role as a regional agricultural hub is evidenced by the Grain Elevator and multiple Storage Bins clustered along the Soo Line tracks. To the west, the Fortuna Air Force Station represents a significant military presence in this rural prairie environment. The terrain is marked by numerous prairie potholes and intermittent water features, including a Flowing Well in Clinton township and various springs. Township boundaries such as Dewitt, Elkhorn, and Westby define the legal geography of the area, while industrial activity is noted by several Gravel Pit locations, reflecting the local extraction economy of the high plains.
