1971 Map of Glasston

About this map

The small settlement of Glasston serves as a focal point in this 1971 study of the Red River Valley’s agricultural heartland. Situated along the Burlington Northern railroad, the town is surrounded by the organized townships of Hamilton, Carlisle, St Thomas, and Midland. The landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of section lines and an extensive drainage system, including the prominent County Ditch, Willow Creek, and No 67A Creek. Near the southern boundary, the St Thomas Municipal Airfield and the St Thomas Cem provide specific points of interest for those researching the infrastructure and genealogy of Pembina County. The map provides an intricate view of a region dominated by large-scale farming, where nearly every acre is accessible by a network of well-maintained section-line roads.
