1971 Map of Huff NE

About this map

Lake Oahe and the Missouri River basin define this landscape on the border of Burleigh and Emmons Counties during the early 1970s. The western edge of the sheet is marked by the historical Old Fort Rice Military Reservation Boundary, providing a clear spatial link to nineteenth-century frontier history. The upland plains are partitioned into townships like Boyd, Telfer, and Mouris, where social life centered on institutions such as Glendale Ch, Glencoe Sloan Ch, and Telfer Sch. Transport and drainage follow the natural contours of the land, with the Soo Line railroad cutting across the northern sections while Apple Creek and Glencoe Creek carve through the prairie terrain towards the river valley. The map documents a rural transition as modern water management projects altered the shoreline near the historic military reservation.
