1973 Map of Marshall SE

About this map

The borderlands of Dunn Co and Stark Co are captured here in the early 1970s, showcasing a landscape defined by agricultural infrastructure and the essential search for water. The terrain is dotted with several Spring and Well locations, reflecting the critical nature of water management in this part of North Dakota. Evidence of the region's farming economy is visible at a group of Storage Bins situated near the southern county line. Mapped using photogrammetric methods from 1972 aerial photography, the topography reveals a detailed network of section lines and rural access routes that structured the high plains during this era. This survey highlights the spatial relationship between administrative boundaries and the practical landmarks of prairie life.
