1961 Map of Washburn NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Coal Lake and the long, winding Coal Lake Coulee dominate this central North Dakota landscape, which was undergoing significant infrastructural change at the time of this survey. The presence of a Canal Under Construction crossing the Soo Line tracks indicates the expansion of water management systems in the Missouri River Basin. This transition era is marked by a mix of established rural landmarks and industrial activity, including the Bible Tabernacle and multiple mines and Gravel Pits scattered near the coulee. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Buffalo Creek winds through the prairie, providing a natural drainage system for the undulating terrain of McLean County. The map captures the intersection of traditional rail transportation and modern development projects during the early 1960s.
