1980 Map of Max
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The town of Max sits at a geographic crossroads in the late 1970s, positioned where the Soo Line railroad intersects the boundary between Ward and McLean counties. This prairie landscape is defined by the unique "pothole" topography of the region, featuring numerous small water bodies and seasonal ponds alongside larger features like Springs Lake and Shallow Lake. The distribution of burial sites, including Peace Cem, Max Cem, Immaculate Conception Cem, and Zion Cem, reveals the scattered nature of early rural congregations and settlements within the townships of Rushville, Rosemount, Economy, and McGinnis. Beyond the town center, industrial activity is noted by several Gravel Pit locations, while the surrounding land is gridded by field lines and fences, many of which are specifically delineated based on aerial photography from 1973. This survey provides a clear view of the agricultural and transportation infrastructure that supported these North Dakota communities as they entered the 1980s.
