1973 Map of Macs Corner NW

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a historical administrative division within Hyde County. This 1970s survey captures a rural prairie environment defined by the drainage basins of South Fork Medicine Knoll Creek in the north and Chapelle Creek in the center. The settlement of Van Order sits amid a network of township boundaries including Highmore, Bramhall, and Eagle. A notable detail of this map is the inclusion of fine dashed red lines, representing selected fence and field lines identified from 1973 aerial photography. These markers, along with the scattered wells and a Gravel Pit, provide an unusually specific look at the local land use and property boundaries during this era.
