1970 Map of Hansboro SW

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Mountview, Monroe, and Armourdale townships define the open agricultural landscape of Towner County at the start of the 1970s. This survey records a transition in prairie transport and civic life, showing the Burlington Northern railroad cutting through the southwestern corner while the primary highway corridor of 281 runs along the northern edge, complete with a designated Roadside Park. Evidence of early 20th-century settlement patterns remains in the presence of the Townhall and local landmarks like the Gravel Pit. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies the locations of the Mount View Cem and Finnish Cem. These sites, along with the meandering course of Big Coulee, provide a clear picture of how water and heritage shaped the layout of this North Dakota prairie region.
