About this map

The rolling plains of the Missouri River Basin appear here during the mid-1960s, a landscape defined by expansive townships like Banner, Crem Erville, and Loquemont. The intersection of Mountrail and McLean counties divides the northern and southern sections of the map, where the terrain is marked by the winding path of Deepwater Creek in the southeast. This survey was produced as part of the Department of the Interior's development program for the region, capturing the rural character of the area before modern consolidation changed many small-town landmarks.

Local landmarks including the Lucky Mound Ch and the Church of God Cem provide valuable touchpoints for family historians and genealogists researching the residents of these central North Dakota townships. Industrial activity is represented by a single Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet, while fine dashed lines across the prairie indicate field and fence lines as they were visible from aerial photographs in 1966.
