1961 Map of Sutton
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Sutton serves as the primary hub of activity in this 1961 survey of the North Dakota plains, situated at the junction of the Great Northern railroad and local transport routes. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Baldhill Creek, which meanders through the townships of Kingsley and Mabel. This document was prepared by the Geological Survey as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, illustrating the organized grid of section lines and field boundaries common to the region. A small Gravel Pit north of the main settlement suggests localized resource extraction supporting the area's infrastructure. The detailed plotting of individual structures in Sutton and the surrounding townships provides a clear look at the rural density and land use patterns of the early 1960s.
