1978 Map of Gamache Creek

About this map

Gamache Creek and its surrounding drainage basins define the topography of this portion of Williams County, mapped during the late 1970s. The landscape is characterized by the organized township structure of Brooklyn and Twelve Mile, where section lines and rural tracks crisscross the high plains. A lone Townhall stands as a focal point for the local community amidst a network of seasonal watercourses including Spring Brook, Short Creek, and Long Cr. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present through a Gravel Pit located near the rugged breaks of the Truax terrain. The map reflects a period of established agricultural and civic organization in western North Dakota, before the large-scale industrial changes of later decades.
