1967 Map of Sharon

About this map

Sharon serves as the central hub for this portion of eastern North Dakota, situated along the Great Northern railroad line during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the prairie potholes and meandering water systems characteristic of the region, including the Middle Fork Goose River in the northeast and the Sheyenne River winding through the southwest corner. The transition between the townships of Sharon, Franklin, Lenora, and Romness is marked by a survey grid that accommodates significant local landmarks like the Trinity Cem and Sharon Cem. Of particular interest to local researchers is the presence of the US Military Reservation in the southern portion of the quadrangle and the Hill and Dale Golf Club to the east. The map captures the interface between Griggs and Steele Counties, documenting the rural infrastructure and scattered Gravel Pits that supported the agricultural economy of the era.
