1986 Map of La Moure

About this map

Whitestone Battlefield State Park stands as a significant historical landmark in this region of North Dakota, preserving the site of an 1863 conflict. During the mid-1980s, this area was defined by a dense grid of township boundaries such as Pomona View, Golden Glen, and Black Loam, reflecting the late-century agricultural organization of the Great Plains. The landscape is heavily influenced by the James River and its accompanying James River Valley, which support several conservation areas including the Dakota Lake National Wildlife Refuge and Cottonwood Creek State Recreation Area. Large regional hubs like La Moure, Oakes, and Ellendale are connected by a network of heavy rail including the Soo Line and Burlington Northern. Small prairie settlements like Monango, Berlin, and Fullerton dot the landscape, often situated near small reservoirs and dams such as the Wilson Dam or Jolin Dam.
