1971 Map of Michigan East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Michigan and Petersburg anchor this segment of Nelson County, where the plains are defined by a complex network of wetlands and agricultural tracts. This 1971 survey captures the area just as the Northern railroad line provided the primary east-west corridor through the townships of Sarnia, Dahlen, and Nash. The landscape is dotted with numerous small basins, several of which are designated as a National Waterfowl Production Area, reflecting the region's importance for migratory birds. Evidence of local infrastructure and community life is visible through the presence of the Michigan Cemetery, another smaller Cemetery to the north, and scattered Gravel Pits used for road maintenance. This sheet offers a clear look at the rural section lines and field boundaries that organized North Dakota farming life in the early 1970s.
