1978 Map of Greenway

About this map

The rolling plains along the North Dakota and South Dakota border define this 1970s survey, illustrating a landscape primarily dedicated to agriculture and the remnants of early rail connectivity. The small settlement of Madra stands as a focal point in the central portion of the quadrangle, situated along the corridor of the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific railroad. This transportation line historically linked these borderlands, facilitating the movement of grain and livestock across the prairie. The map shows the intricate drainage patterns of Spring Creek, which meanders through the southern half of the area, providing a natural contrast to the grid of section lines and rural roads that organize the high plains of McPherson and Campbell counties.
