About this map

Tower City and the small settlement of Koldok anchor this prairie landscape along the Northern Pacific railroad line during the late 1960s. The geography is defined by a dense concentration of small water bodies and wetlands, including the Koldok State Game Management Area in the west and the Maple River flowing through the northeastern corner. This period marks a significant transition in regional transportation, as the modern Interstate 10 94 cuts across the center of the map, featuring the Tower City Interchange and Hill Interchange.

Genealogists can locate Greenwood Cem situated just east of the main townsite. The surrounding townships, including Weimer, Cornell, and Springvale, show a land utilized for agriculture and resource extraction, evidenced by several Sandpit locations scattered across the terrain. This survey reflects the intersection of traditional rail-based prairie towns with the expanding mid-century interstate highway system.
