1953 Map of Newark

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The prairie landscape of the North Dakota South Dakota border is captured here during a period of transition in the mid-1950s. The small settlement of Newark sits directly on the state line, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships of Brampton, Taylor, Newark, and Dayton. Transportation through this agricultural region is defined by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which runs vertically through the landscape. The map reveals the essential infrastructure of a mid-century farming community, from the Chadwick Sch and Brampton Cem to scattered landmarks like a Windmill and a Flowing Well. This survey was compiled as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, documenting the drainage patterns including County Ditch No 2 and numerous small prairie potholes.
