1973 Map of Marshall NW

About this map

The Knife River meanders through the southern portion of this Dunn County landscape, joined by the waters of Deep Creek. This rural North Dakota terrain in the 1970s is characterized by its agricultural and industrial utility, featuring several scattered Spring sites and small Well locations. The terrain label Myran identifies the southern upland area overlooking the river valley. Evidence of the region's infrastructure and resource extraction is found in the multiple Pipeline routes crossing the quadrangle and a Gravel Pit positioned near the center. Transportation is focused on the river and air, with a designated Ford crossing the Knife River and a remote Landing Strip situated to the north. This map captures the functional character of the High Plains, where the water table and mineral resources dictate the sparse but deliberate footprint of human activity.
