About this map

Westfield serves as the primary community anchor in this late-1970s landscape of southern Emmons County. The settlement patterns of the era are visible through rural institutions like Bakker Sch and the nearby Hull Cem, while the industrial connectivity of the Great Plains is marked by the diagonal route of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad in the northeast corner.

Conservation efforts are prominent across the terrain, with several designated sections of the National Waterfowl Production Area set aside for wildlife habitat. The local water table is noted through features such as the Flowing Well, while the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates local resource extraction. This survey illustrates a quiet agricultural and conservation-focused region just before the turn of the decade.
