1969 Map of Gascoyne
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Gascoyne serves as the focal point for this Bowman County landscape, situated along the northern stretch of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The layout of the late 1960s reveals a prairie economy defined by transportation and resource extraction, with a Strip Mine and multiple Gravel Pit locations marking the industrial footprint near the tracks. Water drainage follows the winding paths of Buffalo Creek and Lightning Creek, cutting through the undulating plains labeled as Haley, Goldfield, and Fischbein. The surveyor's notes from the margin credit Governor William L. Guy and chief engineer Milo W. Hoisveen, reflecting the state-led water commission efforts that shaped the region's development. Numerous bridge crossings like Br 2783 and Br 2730 suggest a maintained rural infrastructure supporting both the rail corridor and local ranching interests.
