1970 Map of Hampden

About this map

The town of Hampden serves as the primary hub of this 1970 landscape, situated at the junction of several section lines in the eastern portion of the survey. The terrain is characterized by a dense pattern of prairie potholes and wetlands, illustrating the glaciated topography common to Ramsey and Cavalier counties. Transportation and commerce are defined by the Burlington Northern railroad line, which runs diagonally through the area, connecting the small settlement of Weaver to the surrounding townships of Banner, Storlie, Northfield, and Royal. Local land use is reflected in features like the Storlie Cem and a Gravel Pit, providing tangible evidence of the community's early development and essential infrastructure during this era.
