About this map

Missouri River bluffs define the western edge of this mid-1960s landscape, where the Missouri bottomlands meet the upland prairies of Burleigh County. The settlement of Wogansport sits near the riverbank, while further east, the Soo Line railroad tracks run north-south through the village of Baldwin. This corridor serves as a primary transit artery, paralleling the course of Burnt Creek.

Evidence of rural education and community life is found in the distribution of schoolhouses and cemeteries across the townships, including School No 1, School No 7, and School No 2. A prominent north-south Pipeline cuts through the center of the survey area, crossing the terrain of Painted Woods and Ecklund. Local landmarks like Rosehill Cem and a Gravel Pit near the railroad indicate the settled, agricultural nature of the region during this era.
