1967 Map of Hillsboro NW

About this map

The Goose River meanders sharply across this eastern North Dakota prairie, defining a landscape of agricultural drainage and early settlement in Traill County. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain is characterized by an extensive network of managed waterways including the Hanson Drain, Miller Drain No 29, and Mayville Drain, illustrating the region's intensive water management for farming. The Great Northern railroad cuts through the southwestern corner, serving the township of Blanchard. This map provides significant detail for genealogists, recording the locations of rural community centers like Norway Ch and Aal Ch, alongside the Arnegard Cem and Carlson Cem. The transition from the North Branch Goose River to the main stem showcases the complex oxbows and riparian vegetation that stand in contrast to the surrounding section-line grid.
