About this map

Coyote Creek and Wilson Creek define the northern drainages of this Morton County landscape during the early 1970s. The terrain is marked by the distinct Eagles Nest Cur Lew formation in the south, while Haymarsh Creek winds through the lower sections of the quadrangle. Several unnamed springs, labeled simply as Spring, dot the hillsides, indicating a reliable water table in a region otherwise characterized by intermittent drainage patterns.

Industrial activity is concentrated in localized excavations, including a Gravel Pit and larger Gravel Pits, likely supporting local road maintenance. A Substation situated near the southern border highlights the infrastructure of the era, while the boundary line between Mercer and Morton Counties crosses the northern portion of the sheet. The map captures a transition point between upland ranching or farming lands and the essential water sources that sustained rural North Dakota operations.
