About this map

Mina anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, situated along the corridor of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. In the early 1970s, the area was defined by its civil townships including Fountain, Cortlandt, and Richland, illustrating the structured agricultural grid of Edmunds County. The topography is marked by the presence of Lake Parmley and the meandering course of Stony Run, which drains through the central and southern sections of the survey area.

Local infrastructure improvements are evident with a notable section of roadway marked as Under Construction just west of the settlement. The map also captures engineering details like the Spillway south of the railroad, which managed local water levels for the agricultural community. This document serves as a clear record of the rural transition and transportation network during the latter half of the twentieth century.
