1960 Map of Mooreton East

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Antelope Creek and its meandering South Branch define the agricultural landscape of Richland County in this 1960 planetable survey. The map depicts a region organized by the Public Land Survey System, with the townships of Abercrombie, Ibsen, Dwight, and Mooreton forming a grid of section lines and rural homesteads. At the heart of the local economy is the intersection of rail lines, with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads providing vital connections for small prairie communities. Rural social life is anchored by landmarks like St Paul Ch and Wahpeton School No 5, while the inclusion of Bagg Landing Field suggests the growing importance of aviation in the mid-century Red River Valley. The settlement at Mooreton and the rail-oriented Fairview Junction and Farmington represent the persistent network of grain-handling points and small-town centers typical of North Dakota's eastern plains.
