About this map

The small settlement of Thelan stands as a rail-side focal point in this 1980 survey of western North Dakota. Anchored by a Grain Elevator and the tracks of the Burlington Northern, the area illustrates the vital connection between Great Plains agriculture and rail transport during the late 20th century. To the south, Ekre and Golva mark further points of habitation across a landscape defined by prominent geological formations. The topography is punctuated by rising landforms like Rocky Butte and Lone Butte, while Garner Creek and its North Fork carve drainage patterns through the terrain. This map serves as a record of the rural infrastructure in Golden Valley County, where isolated wells and section-line roads connect scattered farmsteads across the broad townships of Beach and Lone Tree.
