About this map

Haley stands as a focal point along the state boundary in this late 1960s survey of the High Plains borderlands. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Grand River, which meanders through the central portion of the sheet, fed by tributaries like Lightning Creek and Wilson Creek. Evidence of local infrastructure and community life is centered around the small settlement, which includes the Haley Sch and a nearby Gaging Sta monitoring the river's flow.

Industrial activity is limited to scattered Gravel Pit sites along the riverbanks, supporting local road maintenance in this prairie environment. The terrain is marked by distinctive named rises such as Vessey and Twin, while the presence of a lone Cem and multiple school sites highlights the dispersed nature of rural settlement during this period. The map meticulously records the transition between Bowman and Harding counties and the dividing line between North Dakota and South Dakota.
