About this map

The Goose River meanders sharply across this eastern North Dakota landscape, anchoring the neighboring settlements of Portland and Mayville. Captured during a period of agricultural and infrastructural management in the late 1960s, the map reveals a sophisticated network of water control features, including the Mayville Drain No 9 and Miller Drain No 29, which channel water across the flat plains of Mayville and Roseville townships.

Transportation history is clearly legible through the presence of the Great Northern railroad and a legacy Old Railroad Grade west of Portland. The map documents local community landmarks such as Island Park, the Mayville Airport, and a local Cem situated near a bend in the river. This survey provides a precise look at the transition from natural river topography to a highly engineered prairie drainage system.
