1968 Map of Galesburg NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Goose River and its South Branch Goose River carve a meandering path through the northwestern corner of Traill County, defining the agricultural landscape of Roseville and Norman townships. During this era of late 1960s photogrammetric mapping, the region's rural character is anchored by small settlements and communal landmarks, such as Portland at the northeastern edge and the Trinity Ch near the village of Roseville. Evidence of shifting transportation priorities is clearly marked by the Old Railroad Grade running north-south through the eastern sections, a vestige of the rail network that once supported the local grain economy. The map reveals the intricate water management of the Red River Valley, including the Roseville Drain No 19, which serves the low-lying prairie between the river's edge and the county line shared with Steele County.
