1981 Map of Parshall NE

About this map

The Fort Berthold Indian Reservation boundary cuts across the northern portion of this landscape, marking a significant jurisdictional division in Mountrail County during the early 1980s. The northern section is dominated by the winding path of East Fork Shell Creek, which meanders through a series of draws and depressions. Human activity is largely defined by the agricultural and industrial grid, including the Soo Line railroad crossing the terrain. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local resource extraction, while the presence of a Townhall in the southeastern quadrant suggests a central point for the surrounding rural communities of Banner and Model. The survey provides a clear look at the township and range system, documenting fence lines and field limits that defined the agrarian footprint of the Missouri Plateau before modern shifts in land use.
