1976 Map of Stanley NE

About this map

Thorp sits at the center of this orthophotoquad, showing a clear grid of residential streets and industrial lots in the mid-1970s. The surrounding landscape of Clark County is a dense patchwork of agricultural fields and woodlots, bisected by the winding course of the North Fork Eau Claire River as it flows through the western portion of the quadrangle. Smaller rural centers like Eidsvold and Reseburg appear as distinct clusters among the farmsteads, providing a visual record of the region's dairy-country settlement patterns before modern development. Because this is an orthophotograph produced by the Geological Survey, it offers a precise aerial perspective on every farm pond, fenceline, and woodlot as they existed in April 1976.
