1960 Map of Heart Butte NW

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The northern reaches of Lake Tschida define the southern landscape of this 1960s survey, illustrating the significant impact of the Missouri River Basin development program on the North Dakota prairie. The map details the controlled inundation areas along the reservoir, including the Lake Tschida Normal Pool Elevation 2064. Inland from the water, the terrain is dotted with the distinct social infrastructure of a rural farming community, characterized by a high density of one-room schoolhouses like Tavis Sch No 1, Heart Butte Sch No 6, and Tavis Sch No 6. These numbered school districts, along with Bethany Ch and the Koehler Cem, reveal the dispersed yet organized settlement patterns of Morton and Grant counties. The winding courses of Heart Butte Creek and Beaver Creek cut through the undulating hills, leading toward the prominent landmark of Cannon Hill.
