1978 Map of Stafford Dam

About this map

Stafford Dam anchors this landscape in Edmunds County, serving as a focal point for water management and recreation in the late 1970s. The area is defined by a series of distinct townships, including Montpelier, Cleveland, Vermont, and Liberty, which organize the rural grid. This territory is heavily dedicated to conservation and public land use, notably through the National Waterfowl Production Area and the Stafford Dam State Public Shooting Area, reflecting the region's importance for migratory birds and local hunters. Infrastructure for leisure and aviation is also evident, with a Boat Ramp near the dam and a Landing Field to the northeast. Small-scale resource extraction is indicated by scattered Gravel Pits, while local heritage is preserved at St Johns Cem. A Flowing Well in the central portion of the sheet highlights the groundwater characteristics of the prairie.
