1971 Map of Selfridge

About this map

Selfridge sits as the central settlement on this Sioux County landscape, documented during a 1971 field check for the Missouri River Basin development program. The town’s layout is defined by the diagonal transit of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, which cuts through the prairie toward the northwest. Notable local landmarks include the Water Tank and the nearby Sewage Disposal Ponds south of the main townsite. To the south, St Philomena Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogical research within the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Porcupine Hills, where the drainage of Porcupine Creek carves through the terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land management patterns in south-central North Dakota during the early 1970s.
