About this map

Lake Geneva and the surrounding prairie wetlands dominate this mid-1970s landscape along the border of Burleigh and Kidder Counties. The terrain is defined by the glacial depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau, featuring large drainage systems like Stony Slough and the northern reaches of the Long Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The area shows a sparse settlement pattern anchored by the tiny locality of DeWall and the expansive rural townships of Driscoll and Pleasant Hill.

Industrial and transport corridors bisect the plains, most notably the Burlington Northern railroad and the modern path of Interstate 94. The presence of several Gravel Pits and a prominent Radio Tower (KFYR) indicate the local infrastructure of the era. This map captures the region before extensive modern development, preserving the locations of rural school districts and family land holdings across named regions like Thelma and Crown Hill.
