1972 Map of Stamford

About this map

Stamford serves as a focal point in this 1970s landscape, situated along the corridor of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The map documents the rural topography across the Haakon and Jackson county lines, where the prairie is defined by the drainage systems of South Creek and Ash Creek. Cultural landmarks are scattered, such as the St Peter Ch and its adjacent Cem, providing specific points of interest for those researching the social fabric of Jones County. The division of the territory into the Morgan and Grand View districts illustrates the administrative organization of this ranching and agricultural region during the early 1970s, as mapped through aerial photogrammetric methods.
