About this map

The Allegheny Front forms a dramatic topographic boundary here, where the high plateau of the west meets the folded ridges of the east. In the late 1960s, this portion of Grant County shows a landscape defined by industrial extraction and high-altitude water management. Mount Storm Lake sits at the western edge, adjacent to active Strip Mine operations and a Tipple that highlight the area's coal economy.

Small mountain communities like Bismarck and Scherr are connected by rural routes such as the Bismarck Road. The map documents numerous rural landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Locust Grove Ch, Oakdale Ch, and several cemeteries located along the banks of Abram Creek and the North Fork Patterson Creek. High points like the Pigeonroost Lookout Tower provide orientation across the parallel summits of Walker Ridge and New Creek Mountain.
