1949 Map of Northgate

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the prairie meets the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. At the heart of the region's transport network is Northgate, a border settlement situated where the Great Northern and Soo Line railroads converge. This post-war survey illustrates a highly organized agricultural grid, with rural education centers like School No 1 and School No 2 serving the dispersed farmsteads of the prairie townships. The topography is shaped by glacial depressions and the seasonal flow of Stony Creek Run, which meanders through the southern sections. This document captures the peak of the small-town rail economy before the consolidation of rural services, providing an exact look at the siding at Perella and the intricate network of section-line roads that bound the grain-growing heartland of Burke County.
