1980 Map of South Prairie

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

South Prairie stands as a focal point in this 1980s landscape of Ward County, where the plains are defined by township boundaries such as Afton, Sundre, and Freedom. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and water bodies, including Nelson Lake and the drainage of Kemp Coulée near the settlement of Kemp. This map documents a period of specialized land use, showing a National Waterfowl Production Area and a U.S. Military Reservation alongside traditional rural features like Saron Ch. The local infrastructure reflects a mid-century rural economy with a Gravel Pit, a Radio Tower, and the central north-south corridor of Route 83. The presence of a Sew Disp Pond near the military site indicates developed infrastructure serving specific federal or municipal installations in this North Dakota interior.
