1970 Map of Hampden

About this map

Hampden and the surrounding prairie of Ramsey and Cavalier Counties are captured here following a 1970 field check. The landscape is defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor, which links the small grain-handling settlements of Alsen, Weaver, and Hampden. This era shows the organized grid of townships such as Banner, Storlie, Royalo, and Northfield, each reflecting the early 20th-century land division that shaped North Dakota's agricultural development. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Storlie Cem and a small Park within the Hampden townsite. The topography is typical of the glaciated plains, peppered with numerous small depressions and potholes, while the presence of a Gravel Pit suggests the local extraction of materials for the area's road network.
