1950 Map of Newburg
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Newburg and Russell serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural pocket of North Dakota, where the rail network defined local commerce at the mid-century mark. The Great Northern railroad passes through Newburg, while the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie line serves Russell to the south, highlighting the era's reliance on steel rails for moving prairie grain. This survey captures a landscape organized by township boundaries like Brander and Tacoma, dotted with rural infrastructure including School No 1 and a local Cemeteray. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the State Game Refuge, a distinctive departure from the surrounding grid of farms. Features like LaPorte Coulee and the small settlement of LaPorte offer further detail for those tracing the development of Bottineau County's rural communities.
