1964 Map of Wilson NW

About this map

Wilson Reservoir and its newly forming shoreline dominate this 1964 survey, capturing a landscape in the midst of massive change. Blue hatching across the terrain indicates areas slated to be submerged by the rising waters, a crucial detail for researchers tracking land ownership and topographical shifts before the basin filled. The Wilson Dam stands as the primary engineering feature controlling the flow of the Saline River, which meanders through the townships of Pleasant and Highland. Away from the inundation zone, the map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, including a gaging station along the river and scattered industrial marks such as several quarries, a gravel pit, and a drill hole. These labels provide evidence of the local mineral extraction and utility networks that supported the region as the reservoir altered the natural course of Hell Creek and its surroundings.
