1970 Map of Glen Ullin SW

About this map

Eagle Nest rises as a prominent landmark in this prairie landscape of south-central North Dakota, where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. The survey captures a moment in the early 1970s when the region's agricultural character was defined by a grid of fence and field lines, many of which were visible from the air during the 1967 photogrammetric mapping. Significant water features like Heart Butte Creek and Big Muddy Cr shape the drainage patterns of the area, while smaller features such as a local Cem and numerous Gravel Pits indicate the practical footprints of rural life and industry. The presence of several Spring labels suggests the importance of natural water sources in this environment, supporting both the land and the sparse infrastructure of the Eagle Nest township.
