1963 Map of Kelso

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The North Branch Elm River and South Branch Elm River meander through the central Traill County plains, defining the topography of this agricultural landscape. The survey captures the corridor of the Great Northern railroad as it parallels the highway system through the small settlements of Kelso and Alton. This era represents a period of infrastructure development by the State of North Dakota Water Commission under the direction of Governor William L. Guy and Chief Engineer Milo W. Hoisveen, evidenced by the presence of a Gaging Station and Pumping Sta along the riverbanks. Local history is anchored by the Bohnsack Cem and the surrounding townships of Bloomfield, Hillsboro, and Bohnsack. The map also identifies industrial sites like the Gravel Pits and recreational spaces such as the Roadside Park, providing a complete view of the rural economy and community life in the early 1960s.
