1970 Map of Rock Lake SE

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie potholes dominate the landscape of the Lansing and Teddy townships during the early 1970s. This agricultural region on the border of Towner and Cavalier counties is characterized by an intricate network of wetlands and small water bodies that dictate the placement of section-line roads and farmsteads. The quiet rural character is anchored by local landmarks such as Ellison Cem, located near the intersection of several sections in the southern half of the quadrangle. Industrial activity in this sparsely populated area is represented by a Gravel Pit in the north, while various benchmarks like BM 1567 provide precise elevation data for the gently undulating terrain of the North Dakota plains.
