1963 Map of Gorham SE

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The high plains of Billings County are defined here by the deep incisions of Franks Creek and the Green River, which carve through the plateau in the early 1960s. This landscape reveals a sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of western North Dakota, where schoolhouses served as the primary social and civic hubs for widely separated farmsteads. Two such institutions, Gorham Sch and Pioneer Sch, are documented on this sheet, positioned along the section-line roads that grid the territory. The topography is further marked by detailed fence and field lines, indicating the active agricultural use of the land between the breaks and coulees. These boundary markings and school locations provide a clear record of the mid-century rural school district system before further consolidation reshaped the region's educational geography.
