1963 Map of Orr

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Orr and McCanna serve as the primary hubs in this mid-century survey of the North Dakota plains. The Great Northern railroad cuts a straight line through the agricultural landscape, which is organized into large township blocks including Agnes, Strabane, and Wheatfield. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Branch Turtle River and its tributary, Whisky Creek, which create natural breaks in the grid of section lines and fence rows. Several Gravel Pits are scattered near the river, suggesting local industrial activity tied to the geological deposits of the valley. Mapped as part of a Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, the sheet provides a meticulous look at the rural infrastructure of Grand Forks County during the early 1960s.
