About this map

Gwinner serves as the primary hub of this eastern North Dakota prairie landscape, showing significant development by the late 1970s. The town is situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line, which cuts across the undulating terrain of Whitestone Hill. The map documents the localized growth of the community, featuring a Trailer Park and the Gwinner Municipal Airfield to the east.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Gwinner Cem south of the main town site, while the surrounding townships of Bowen and Willey illustrate the traditional section-line road grid of the region. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local industry and the geologic character of the hills. The inclusion of purple photorevision markings highlights the physical changes in field lines and structures that occurred between the original 1950s surveys and the 1979 update.
