1975 Map of Wing SW

About this map

Rock Hill and the surrounding plains of Burleigh County define this mid-1970s landscape, characterized by a sparse settlement pattern of rural farmsteads and resource extraction. The map records a series of agricultural and industrial landmarks, including several Wells and multiple Gravel Pits used for local infrastructure. Union Cem stands as a quiet marker of the local community's history, situated near the center of the township. Drainage in the northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the East Branch Apple Creek, which meanders through the terrain. Civil divisions like Ghlyin and Cromwell delineate the administrative boundaries of the prairie, while Trygg marks another significant topographic feature. This survey provides a clear view of the rural landscape before late-century modernization, preserving the locations of fence lines and field boundaries as they existed during the 1974 aerial photogrammetric study.
