About this map

Dry Beaver Creek meanders through the drainages of the high plains along the North Dakota and Montana state line in the mid-1970s. The landscape reflects a rural economy of decentralized homesteads and resource extraction, marked by a Well, a Gravel Pit, and a Scoria Pit. In the northwestern corner of the quadrangle, Elmwood and Henry are noted among the townships, while local community life is anchored by the Arvid Sch and the secluded Blue Mountain Cem. The terrain is characterized by intricate coulees and a natural Spring at the southern edge, illustrating the critical importance of water access in this high-plains region during the period of post-war agricultural stabilization.
