1961 Map of Mose

About this map

Northern Pacific rail lines cut through the center of this North Dakota landscape during the early 1960s, anchoring the small settlement of Mose. The area is characterized by a high density of prairie potholes and small water bodies, including the uniquely named Hoot-E-Too Lake in the northwest. This survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development, reveals a rural economy organized around the townships of Rosendal and Bryan. Local heritage is well-preserved through several small burial grounds and houses of worship, such as Zion Ch Cem and Naroen Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Baldhill Creek winds through the terrain, while various Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction activities supporting the region's road network.
