About this map

Newburgh and Enger townships define this agricultural landscape in Steele County during the early 1970s. The topography is dominated by the winding course of the Goose River and Beaver Creek, which carve distinct drainage patterns through the otherwise level prairie. The presence of multiple private airfields, such as the Peterson Landing Strip and Stavens Landing Strip, suggests the importance of aerial application or private travel in this rural farming community.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established community centers like the Townhall and several houses of worship, including Little Forks Ch and Bang Ch. The map also preserves the locations of family-linked burial grounds like Stevens Memorial Cem and Severson Cem, providing essential markers for tracing family roots in this corner of North Dakota. To the west, the expanse of Golden Lake provides a major geographic anchor for the region.
