1970 Map of Marion NW

About this map

The intersection of Stutsman, Barnes, and La Moure counties in the early 1970s reveals a vast prairie landscape organized by township boundaries. In the township of Greenland, the North Marion Ch and an adjacent Cem serve as the primary landmarks in an otherwise rural agricultural expanse. The topography is defined by numerous depressions and small water bodies typical of the region, interspersed with several Gravel Pit locations that indicate local industry and road building. This survey captures the rural character of southeastern North Dakota, where large township blocks like Ypsilanti, Meadow Lake, and Manns dictate the social and geographic layout of the land. Fine dashed lines on the map denote selected fence and field lines as they appeared during aerial photography in 1969, providing a high level of detail for those tracing historical property boundaries or family land holdings.
