1951 Map of Kuroki

About this map

Kuroki serves as a central point of settlement on the high plains of Bottineau County, positioned along the Great Northern railway line during the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Antler Cr and the winding Hulse Coulee, which traverse a terrain marked by numerous small depressions and prairie potholes characteristic of the region. This survey, part of the Department of the Interior's program for the Missouri River Basin, documents the sparse but vital social infrastructure of the time, including the rural Rosebud Sch No 2. Civil divisions are clearly delineated, with the townships of Wayne, Bentinck, and Sherman meeting in this area. To the north, the boundary between the Canada United States and Manitoba North Dakota is established, highlighting the remote borderland character of this agricultural territory.
