1951 Map of Orient NW

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie drainage patterns dominate this 1951 survey of the borderlands between Faulk and Hand counties. The landscape is dotted with seasonal catchments and prominent water bodies like Vogeler Lake in the north and the hydrologically connected Matter Lake and Horseshoe Lake to the south. The rural character of the era is reflected in the placement of the Maloney Sch and Progress Sch, which served the scattered farmsteads across the townships of Bryant, Tamworth, and Harrison. Topographical features such as Sugar Loaf Hill rise above the surrounding plains, providing natural landmarks in an otherwise open terrain. This survey reflects the mid-century agricultural layout of the Missouri River Basin development area, showing the precise locations of Huss Spring and Gonder Creek before modern land-use changes altered local drainage.
