1954 Map of Towner SE

About this map

Berwick stands as the primary settlement in this section of the prairie, situated at a vital junction of the Great Northern railroad line. The map highlights the agricultural and transport infrastructure of the mid-1950s, documenting a landscape shaped by the development of the Missouri River Basin. The terrain transitions between the Berwick and Gorman regions, characterized by numerous small depressions and ponds typical of the North Dakota pothole region. For genealogists, the inclusion of the Berwick Cem and the precise boundary line between Pierce Co and Mc Henry Co provides essential spatial context for family records and land ownership from this era.
