1971 Map of Nanson

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Nanson sits as a central settlement amidst a prairie landscape dominated by wetlands and conservation areas during the early 1970s. The geography is defined by the Rice Township National Wildlife Refuge and the Elbow Lake National Wildlife Refuge, indicating a region heavily managed for migratory waterfowl and native habitats. Local life and history are anchored by landmarks like the Ox Creek Ch and North Ox Creek Cem, while the Burlington Northern railroad provides the primary industrial artery through the terrain. The presence of numerous bodies of water, including Twin Lakes, Elbow Lake, and the winding Ox Creek, reflects the glaciated pothole character of this part of the North Dakota plains, where small-scale extraction is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary.
