1960 Map of Mooreton East

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Richland County comes into focus here, where the townships of Abercrombie, Ibsen, Dwight, and Mooreton converge. The town of Mooreton serves as a primary hub, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line. This transportation network was critical for the movement of grain and goods across the Red River Valley, with the Great Northern railroad also traversing the eastern portion of the sheet. The meandering path of Antelope Creek and its tributary, the South Branch Antelope Creek, provide the principal drainage for these expansive fields.
