1967 Map of Greenland Gap

About this map

The Allegheny Front dominates this Grant County landscape, creating a dramatic topographical transition where the mountains meet the plateau. In the late 1960s, this area centered on the small settlements of Bismarck, Scherr, and Greenland, which were linked by winding roads tracing the base of Walker Ridge. The creation of Mount Storm Lake stands out as a significant industrial modification to the terrain, serving the local energy infrastructure. Local history is preserved through the mapping of several cemeteries and community landmarks like Locust Grove Ch and the Pigeonroost Lookout Tower. Waterways such as Abram Creek and the various forks of Patterson Creek cut through the ridges, defining the drainage patterns that shaped the early settlement of these valleys.
