1972 Map of Nelson Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The Milton R Young Power Plant stands as the industrial centerpiece of this Oliver County landscape, situated directly adjacent to Nelson Lake. This artificial reservoir is tied into a complex water management system featuring an Aqueduct and multiple Substations. The region's energy economy is further evidenced by a nearby Strip Mine and a dedicated Landing Strip, illustrating the infrastructure required for large-scale lignite coal power generation in North Dakota during the early 1970s.
