1979 Map of Regan

About this map

Regan serves as the primary hub of this North Dakota prairie landscape, situated along the tracks of the Burlington Northern railroad. The layout of the region is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and township boundaries, including Steiber, Estherville, Ghylin, and Ecklund. These administrative divisions underscore the late 20th-century agricultural organization of Burleigh County, where fine red dashed lines on the map indicate field boundaries and fences identified from aerial photography. To the northwest, the significant depression of Grass Lake breaks the terrain, while scattered Gravel Pits suggest the importance of local materials for road building and maintenance. A prominent Radio Tower in the southwest and occasional Wells dot the landscape, reflecting the essential infrastructure required to support this remote farming community.
