1970 Map of Verona NE

About this map

Bear Creek meanders north to south through this landscape, marking the transition between La Moure and Ransom Counties. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by its agricultural and conservation character, notably featuring the National Wildlife Management Area and regions designated as Black Loam and Greenville. The map captures a moment in the rural development of the North Dakota prairie, where local landmarks like the West Fairview Cem provide valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction efforts, while the meticulous plotting of fence and field lines from aerial photography provides an exceptionally clear view of property boundaries and land use patterns during this era.
