1970 Map of Wales
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Wales stands as the primary settlement in this northern landscape near the Canada-United States border, as documented by the Geological Survey during a 1970 field check. The town serves as a hub for the surrounding agricultural townships of Dresden, South Dresden, Minto, and Linden. Its economy and layout are defined by the Burlington Northern railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the prairie. The terrain is characterized by numerous small glacial depressions and the wandering path of Snowflake Creek in the north. Several Gravel Pit locations are noted throughout the quadrangle, indicating the local extraction industry used for road building across this portion of Cavalier County. The map reveals the precise section lines and rural road networks that structured life in this border region during the early 1970s.
