1973 Map of Manning SE

About this map

Russian Spring Creek and Spring Creek wind through this rural landscape in Dunn County, highlighting the importance of seasonal water sources in the high plains during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainages including Lighting Creek and Deep Creek, which illustrate the natural erosion patterns across the Manning SE quadrangle. Human impact on the land is represented by scattered industrial and agricultural markers, such as several Gravel Pit locations and a solitary Well in the southeast corner. These features, along with the fine red dashed lines indicating property fence lines, provide a detailed look at land division and resource extraction in North Dakota just before the mid-1970s. The map serves as a clear record of the area's topography as documented by the State Water Commission and federal agencies.
