About this map

Glenburn serves as the focal point for this late 1940s landscape, situated along the Great Northern railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by a traditional rural grid, where the boundaries of Ensign, Prescott, Chatfield, and Elms meet. This survey provides a precise record of the Missouri River Basin development program's focus on these plains, showing the distribution of essential community landmarks like School No 1, School No 2, and School No 4.

The terrain is marked by the winding path of Spring Coulee, which carves through the central portion of the map. Local industry is represented by scattered Gravel Pit locations, while the Fairview Cem on the edge of town offers a specific point of interest for those researching local family history. The detailed topography reflects the drainage and land-use patterns established just after the post-war transition in Renville and Bottineau counties.
