1985 Map of Northside

Small rural clusters such as Northside, White City, and Doans dot the terrain, linked by straight section-line roads. The drainage of Salt Creek and the presence of Hamilton Lake provide the primary water features in an area otherwise dominated by the geometric patterns of oil production and agricultural surveying. This map captures a specific moment in the late 20th-century development of the Red River valley, balancing its identity as an energy-producing hub with its roots as a collection of small farming and ranching communities.
