1962 Map of Starkweather

About this map

Starkweather serves as the primary hub of this North Dakota prairie landscape during the early 1960s, situated along the Great Northern railroad line. The map highlights the agricultural organization of the region, defined by township boundaries such as Klingstrup, Hammer, Coolin, and Bethel. Small-scale local landmarks essential for genealogical research are present, including Bergen Ch and a nearby Cem in the southern portion of the survey area. The terrain is characterized by numerous prairie potholes and wetlands, most notably Davis Slough, which winds through the central sections. The map also records the border between Towner Co and Ramsey Co, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land use patterns of the period, from scattered Gravel Pits to the Sewage Disposal Pond east of the main settlement.
