About this map

Hartline is the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the late 1960s, defined by the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The town’s role as a shipping point for the surrounding wheat country is evident in the Grain Elevators positioned along the tracks, while the secondary settlement of Hanson sits to the northeast. The terrain is structured by a precise grid of county roads, from Road 45 NE down to Road 37 NE, which navigate the subtle coulees and natural springs that dot the region.

Local history is preserved at the Welsh Cemetery and another cemetery labeled simply Cem south of the main townsite. Industrial activity is visible in the form of a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit, likely serving the maintenance of the extensive rural road network. Numerous natural Spring points and drilled Well sites underscore the vital importance of water management in this high-desert environment of Grant County.
