About this map

Goodrich serves as the primary hub for this Sheridan County landscape, anchored by the Burlington Northern railroad line that bisects the northern sections of the map. The terrain is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands, many of which are preserved within the National Waterfowl Production Area. These protected zones are scattered across the townships of Goodrich, Mauch, and Lynn, reflecting a landscape dedicated to conservation and migratory bird habitat in the late 1970s.

Infrastructure is sparse outside the immediate vicinity of the town, with the exception of several Gravel Pits and the Sewage Disposal Ponds southeast of the main settlement. The eastern boundary is marked by the Bull Moose lake feature, where the border of Sheridan and Wells Counties is established. This survey provides a clear view of the rural section lines and field boundaries that dictate the agricultural patterns of central North Dakota during this era.
