1972 Map of Woodworth NW

About this map

Round Lake sits at the southwestern edge of this 1970s landscape, which is defined by the prairie pothole region's complex network of wetlands and seasonal ponds. The Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the southern section, connecting the rural townships of Marston Moor and Pettibone. This area, bordering the Kidder and Stutsman County line, exhibits a settlement pattern focused on agriculture and conservation, notably within the National Waterfowl Production Area. Local governance and infrastructure are marked by a centrally located Townhall and several wells scattered across the townships of Gerber, Petersville, and Lowery. The presence of a Gravel Pit in the southeast suggests the localized extractive industry supporting road maintenance in this sparsely populated reach of the North Dakota plains.
