1975 Map of Sterling

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Sterling serves as the focal point of this mid-1970s survey, situated at a critical crossroads of rail and road infrastructure in Burleigh County. The Burlington Northern railroad bisects the landscape, running parallel to an Old Grade and various transit corridors that speak to the area's logistical importance. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Sterling Cem, located just north of the town center near several Gravel Pit operations. The natural drainage of the region is defined by the winding course of Random Creek and the man-made Sterling Reservoir to the southeast. Industrial activity is further evidenced by a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern sections and a rural Landing Strip, illustrating a landscape shaped by transportation and resource extraction in the Great Plains.
