1950 Map of Westhope SW

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Glacial depressions and prairie potholes dominate this 1950 topography of the North Dakota borderlands. The landscape, surveyed as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a sparsely settled agricultural region organized into township grids. Local education centers like Stinson Sch No 1 and Stinson Sch No 3 served the farming families within Bentinck and Hastings townships. The map records the presence of the Zion Ch in the northern portion of the quadrangle, which along with the schools, formed the social hubs for the community before the consolidation of rural districts. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage patterns and small water bodies that underscore the high-plains hydrology of the era.
