1970 Map of Sanborn SE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through the eastern edge of this landscape, its steep-sided valley contrasting sharply with the agricultural plateaus of Skandia and Nelson townships. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a rural territory defined by section-line roads and sparse but significant landmarks. Near the center of the sheet, the Ringsaker Cem serves as a key point for genealogists and local historians, while the sprawling Green Marsh and several Gravel Pit operations highlight the area's drainage patterns and surface geology. A solitary Radio Tower stands in Green township, a modern fixture in a region otherwise dominated by traditional township boundaries and farm-to-market infrastructure. The detailed topography illustrates the transition from the high prairie down to the river bottomlands, providing a clear view of the area's drainage and land-use divisions.
