About this map

Richland and Clear Lake townships define this rural landscape in Edmunds County during the early 1970s. The area is characterized by its glacial prairie potholes and drainage systems, with Preachers Run and Stony Run cutting through the terrain toward Grass Lake. This 1970 survey captures a specific moment of rural infrastructure, showing the Old Railroad Grade as a prominent diagonal marker across the plains, reflecting a shift in regional transportation and land use. Local community centers are anchored by the Richland Ch and Richland Cem, while a standalone Townhall sits near the eastern edge of Clear Lake township. Scattered Gravel Pits and a Flowing Well suggest the local reliance on both the geology and the groundwater of the plains during this era.
