1980 Map of Lynwood

About this map

Little Heart Flats and the elevated Custer Flats dominate the terrain of this Morton County landscape during the late 1970s. The region is defined by the drainage basins of the North Branch Heart River and the Little Heart River, which carve through the prairie towards the Morton County State Game Management Area in the southeast. Infrastructure for the local agricultural economy is centered on the Burlington Northern railroad line, which connects the community of Lynwood and the rail-dependent Saint Anthony Siding. Social history is anchored by the presence of St Johns Cem, while prominent natural landmarks like Little Heart Butte provide clear orientation points against the broad, level plains. The map illustrates a rural North Dakota territory where land use is split between protected habitat and active transportation corridors.
