1953 Map of Montpelier NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Beaver Creek carves a winding path through this portion of the North Dakota prairie, defining the landscape of central Stutsman and La Moure counties during the early 1950s. The survey illustrates a rural township structure organized around local education and agriculture, where the placement of School No 1 and School No 2 reflects the dispersed nature of the farmstead community. Large surveyed blocks such as Sydney, Corwin, Severn, and Montpelier segment the terrain, which is otherwise marked by numerous small depressions and glacial potholes typical of the region. A solitary Gravel Pit near the creek indicates the localized extraction of materials for road building or rail ballast. The map provides a clear look at the region's development as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin program, showing the early postwar road network connecting the townships of Kennison and Adrian.
