1973 Map of Schaffner Creek

About this map

Schaffner Creek flows through this rural landscape in the 1970s, where the winding watercourses of Ash Coulee and the Knife River define the local topography. This portion of the North Dakota prairie, spanning the border of Dunn Co and Mercer Co, reflects a pattern of scattered homesteads and essential rural institutions. Small landmarks like St Martins Ch and the Broncho Cem serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community, while a Gravel Pit indicates localized resource extraction. The map provides a clear look at the section lines and fence boundaries that organized the high plains before further modernization changed the rural character of the region.
