1967 Map of Greenland Gap

About this map

Allegheny Front and the distinctive ridgelines of Walker Ridge define the complex topography of this Grant County landscape in the late 1960s. The map captures a transition in land use, where the industrial presence of a strip mine, tipple, and several quarries exists alongside rural settlements like Bismarck and Greenland. The massive Mount Storm Lake dominates the northwestern section, contrasting with the narrow, natural passage of Greenland Gap where the North Fork Patterson Creek cuts through the mountains. Local life is centered around landmarks such as Locust Grove Ch and the Pigeonroost Lookout Tower, while the drainages of Abram Creek and New Creek provide the primary water network through the deep valleys and knobs.
