1961 Map of Turtle Creek NE

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Missouri River Basin development program shaped the landscape of McLean and Mercer counties as documented in this early 1960s survey. The terrain is characterized by numerous small glacial potholes and wetlands typical of the prairie pothole region, with Flicker and Lindell identified among the subtle topographical variations. Institutional landmarks of the rural community are preserved here, including the South St Olaf Ch and the Koenig Sch No 1, which served as anchors for the local farming population. The northern edge of the map is defined by the Northern Pacific railroad line, a critical artery for the regional agricultural economy. Industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit in the northwest, indicating the extraction of local glacial deposits for infrastructure during this period of growth.
