1981 Map of Ross
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Ross stands as a central point along the Burlington Northern railroad in this early 1980s landscape of northwest North Dakota. The area is characterized by numerous small water bodies and significant conservation efforts, marked by several National Waterfowl Production Areas that punctuate the plains. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial sites, including Manitou Cem to the west, Rosehill Cem near the town center, and the uniquely named Moslem Cem to the east. Modern utility and communication infrastructure is evident through the presence of a long Pipeline running parallel to the tracks and multiple Radio Tower sites. The landscape transition between Debing and Alger townships reflects a classic prairie economy of transport, resource extraction at various Gravel Pits, and land management near Cottonwood Lake.
