1970 Map of Judson

About this map

Judson sits at the heart of this Morton County landscape, a small community positioned along the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area's mid-century topography is defined by the contrast between its drainage systems, such as Sweet Briar Creek and Fish Creek, and the emerging recreational and industrial sites of the era. The presence of several Lignite Pits and a Gravel Pit reflects the region's reliance on earth resources, while the Sweet Briar Dam State Game Management Area surrounding Sweet Briar Lake points to a transition toward conservation and public use. This 1970 field-checked survey provides a look at the rural infrastructure of the time, from the placement of a Gaging Station to the bypass of Interstate 94 and Highway 10 north of the town center.
