1967 Map of Kloten

About this map

The Great Northern railroad tracks cut a diagonal path across this prairie landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Kloten. Situated in a region defined by its glacial hydrology, the area is dotted with numerous wetlands and depressions, including Omlid Slough, Solberg Slough, and Hillestand Lake. To the southwest, the terrain descends toward the winding Sheyenne River valley, where the prominent Pilot Mound rises above the riverbanks. This 1960s survey documents the rural character of the Nelson and Griggs County border, showing a network of section roads connecting isolated homesteads to local landmarks like Valley Grove Cem. The landscape reflects a mid-century agricultural economy, supported by the railway and scattered industrial sites such as the Gravel Pits found near the river and along the township lines.
