1972 Map of Saint John North

About this map

Saint John serves as the focal point of this 1970s topographical survey, anchoring the southeastern corner of the quadrangle where the town grid meets a landscape defined by water and energy. The region is marked by an extensive distribution of Oil Wells and pipelines, reflecting the mid-century petroleum industry's impact on the agricultural plains. Significant drainage features like Wild Horse Creek, Little Wild Horse Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek meander through the townships of Douglas, South Seward, and Cleveland, creating distinct patterns of low-lying terrain and intermittent wetlands.
