1967 Map of Langdon East

About this map

Langdon anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, illustrating the town's footprint as it appeared in the mid-1960s with updates through the early 1980s. The local economy and social life of Cavalier County are reflected in landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and the Country Club, while the Burlington Northern railroad corridor provides a vital link through the plains. To the north, the landscape is defined by the National Waterfowl Production Area, a series of wetlands and basins that contrast with the organized grid of surrounding townships including Harvey and Elgin. Genealogists may find interest in the Harvey Cem located in the eastern portion of the map, while industrial sites like the Gravel Pit near Manilla township mark the active use of local resources. This 1967 survey, later photorevised, documents the transition from early mid-century infrastructure to modern conservation and transportation patterns.
