1961 Map of Laird

Transportation and utility infrastructure follow the river's path, with the Burlington Northern railroad providing a vital link across the state lines toward Sanborn. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hanshaw Cem north of the river, while the southern portion of the map transition toward the Arikaree River and the historical Wano area. The presence of a Landing Strip and Radio Towers indicates the modernization of this rural borderland.
