1949 Map of Noonan
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Noonan and its surrounding coal-rich landscape dominate this late-1940s survey along the international border. The northern edge of the map is defined by the line between the United States and Canada, specifically the boundary between North Dakota and Saskatchewan. The local economy is visibly driven by the large Coal Field and an active Strip Mine located just south of the Noonan townsite, which is serviced by the Great Northern and the Minneapolis Sault Ste Marie and Northern railroads. This rail junction illustrates the importance of Noonan as a shipping point for fuel and agricultural products from the Blooming Valley. Scattered rural education hubs like Long Creek Sch and Brown School No 4 are mapped alongside the meandering Long Creek, reflecting the distributed settlement pattern of Divide County at mid-century.
