1968 Map of Galesburg SE

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Elm River meanders across the Red River Valley in this late 1960s study of Traill County, showing a landscape defined by industrial agriculture and early telecommunications. The survey detail highlights significant water management infrastructure, including the Augustadt Dam and the Elm River Diversion Drain, reflecting efforts to control the plains' drainage. This agricultural grid is punctuated by massive landmarks of the television era, specifically the Radio Tower (KTHI-TV) and Radio Tower (KXJB-TV), which were among the tallest structures in the world at the time of their construction. Local genealogy interests center on the southern portion of the map near the Galesburg township line, where the Stordahl Ch and an adjacent Cem represent the spiritual and community anchors of the surrounding rural townships of Norman, Blanchard, and Greenfield.
