1973 Map of Scranton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Union Prairie Church stands as a focal point for the rural community in this corner of Bowman County during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Lightning Creek, which drains toward the southeast across several township boundaries. Large-scale land divisions including Scranton, Whiting, Goldfield, Boyesen, and Minnehaha organize the prairie into a distinct grid of sections and roads typical of North Dakota's agricultural heartland. Small-scale industrial activity is evident through a scattered Gravel Pit and isolated Well sites, indicating the local reliance on natural resources. The topography, mapped by the Geological Survey using 1972 aerial photography, reveals a complex series of intermittent drainages and small depressions across the open plains.
