1962 Map of Fryburg

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Fryburg stands as the primary settlement in this corner of Billings County, situated at the intersection of a local road network and the Northern Pacific railroad line. The early 1960s landscape is defined by the industrial footprint of the Fryburg Oil Field, which occupies the high ground north of the tracks. This industrial activity is mirrored by numerous Scoria Pits and a Mine scattered across the undulating terrain. Drainage for the region is provided by the winding courses of Norwegian Creek and Davis Creek, which carve through the topography alongside isolated water sources like a named Spring and Well. The map illustrates a transitional period in western North Dakota, where traditional cattle-country ranching and transport infrastructure were increasingly overlaid by the development of the Williston Basin oil industry.
