1969 Map of Rolla NE

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the prairie of Manitoba and North Dakota meets. The terrain is characterized by the winding path of Hidden Island Coulee, which snakes through the eastern portion of the map. This area, divided among the townships of Fairview, Picton, and Mount View, reflects the rural organization of Rolette and Towner Counties. In the southwest corner, the Rolla Municipal Airport and a nearby Country Club signal the expansion of local infrastructure and recreational life near the edge of the regional hub. The map provides a clear view of the section lines and drainage patterns that dictated the development of these borderland farming communities.
