1982 Map of Wishek SW

About this map

The Starkey township line and the boundary between Logan and McIntosh Counties divide this high plains landscape of south-central North Dakota. The area's settlement history is anchored by the presence of Salems Cem and Worms Cem, marking the heritage of the local rural community. To the northeast, the map shows a portion of Red Lake, while the remainder of the terrain is defined by undulating topography punctuated by isolated wells and a Gravel Pit. The map captures a moment when fence and field lines, identified by fine red dashed markings from aerial photography, still clearly delineated the agricultural organization of the land. This survey reflects the sparse, functional layout of the region in the early 1980s, where land use was focused on farming and natural resource extraction.
