1969 Map of Scranton NE

About this map

Gascoyne Lake dominates the southern landscape of this 1969 topographic study, where Buffalo Creek feeds into the reservoir just north of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad line. The map captures the edge of the Gascoyne Corporate Bdy, providing a look at the infrastructure of Bowman County before further modern development. The terrain is defined by the high ground of Buena Vista and Fischbein, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and a designated Picnic Area near the lakeshore suggests a mix of local industry and recreation. Detailed survey markings like Stillwater and various scattered Well sites reflect the rural land use and water management priorities managed by the State of North Dakota Water Commission under Governor William L. Guy.
