1974 Map of Gretna
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Cottonwood Lake and the broad glacial depressions of Cloyd Valley define this mid-1970s landscape in Edmunds County. The area is dominated by agricultural section lines and a significant conservation footprint within the National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance to the Central Flyway. The small settlement of Gretna serves as a focal point along the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts a straight line across the prairie. Local history is anchored by the Cloyd Valley Cem and the surrounding townships of Bowdle and Odessa. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a scattered Well network indicates the importance of local resource extraction and water management for the farming community during this era.
