1949 Map of Maxbass
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Maxbass serves as the primary hub of this North Dakota landscape, situated at the terminus of the Great Northern railroad line in the northern reaches of Hastings township. The 1940s topography reveals a grid-patterned agricultural region defined by townships like Mount Rose, Lewis, and Chatfield, where the Cut Bank Creek meanders southeast across the prairie. Small-town civic life is evident through the presence of the Town Hall and School No 1, which supported the dispersed farming community. Transportation was vital to the area's development, as evidenced by the second rail line, the Minneapolis Sault Ste Marie and St Paul, which cuts through the southern half of the map near the small settlement of Hurd. This survey captures the height of the mid-century grain-rail economy before the consolidation of rural infrastructure.
