1978 Map of Schafer

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Schafer sits at the heart of this landscape, a settlement defined by its position near the meandering waters of Cherry Creek. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, including the North Fork Cherry Creek and Sevenmile Creek to the south, while the northern reaches are marked by the presence of Tobacco Garden Creek. This late-1970s survey captures a transition in land use, where traditional rangeland meets more modern developments on the outskirts of the regional center. Local recreational and transportation infrastructure is evident through the Watford City Golf Course and the Watford City Municipal Airport, both located near the western edge of the quadrangle. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Schafer Cem and scattered Gravel Pits that suggest the area's small-scale industrial activity and community roots.
