1972 Map of Hannover

About this map

The small settlement of Hannover is the primary community on this central Oliver County landscape, surveyed in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by its drainages and isolated landmarks, most notably Square Butte and the winding course of Square Butte Creek. A secondary drainage, Hugel Creek, cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, reflecting a rural landscape primarily shaped by grazing and agriculture. Industrial activity is sparsely represented by a single Mine and a Gravel Pit, alongside a prominent Pipeline corridor that traverses the prairie. The map provides a clear look at the township grid and section lines that structured settlement in this part of North Dakota before modern development altered the local road network and rural infrastructure.
