About this map

Apple Creek meanders through the central plains of Burleigh County, defining the drainage and landscape of this mid-1970s survey. The small community of Menoken (Burleigh Sta) serves as a focal point along the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts an east-west path across the prairie alongside the newly established corridor of Interstate 94. To the south, the National Waterfowl Production Area indicates a commitment to land conservation and wildlife habitat preservation in this agricultural region.

Local landmarks such as St Hildegard Ch and the emerging residential cluster at Apple Valley show the subtle shifts in settlement patterns as the area began to modernize. The map also delineates the civil townships of Gibbs, Menoken, and Boyd, providing a clear record of administrative boundaries and land use before late-twentieth-century developments further altered the outskirts of the state capital region.
