1980 Map of Minot
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Minot serves as the focal point for this 1980 survey, where the Souris River and Des Lacs River converge amidst an intricate network of drainage coulees. The landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of the Burlington Northern and Soo Line railroads, which connect agricultural hubs like Berthold, Carpio, and Sawyer. North of the city, the Minot Air Force Base stands as a significant Cold War-era installation, while the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Darling protect the river valley's natural riparian corridors. The map reveals the extensive National Waterfowl Production Area lands that dot the prairie, punctuated by topographical landmarks such as Lookout Point and Twin Buttes. Smaller settlements and siding stops like Foxholm, Ruthville, and Logan highlight the rural development patterns of Ward County during the late twentieth century.
