1951 Map of Harvey

About this map

Harvey sits at the heart of this central North Dakota landscape, showing the town's development along the Soo Line railroad during the mid-20th century. The settlement pattern is defined by the intersection of rail transport and rural education, with Hillsdale Sch No 31 serving the surrounding agricultural townships of Hillsdale and Truman. To the north, the small community of Selz and the Northern rail line mark the prairie horizon, while the waters of Goose Lake and the Harvey Dam SWMA provide a distinct contrast to the gridded section lines.
