1983 Map of Writing Rock North

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Writing Rock Park (State Historic Site) serves as a central landmark in this corner of Divide County, preserving significant archaeological petroglyphs within a glacial landscape of prairie potholes and sloughs. This 1980s-era topographic survey illustrates a rural economy defined by scattered storage bins and agricultural infrastructure across the townships of Daneville, Writing Rock, Clinton, and Westby. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies including Rattler Lake and the elongated Marsland Slough, which characterize the high plains drainage patterns of the region. Local community life is anchored by the Writing Rock Ch, while the presence of several prospects and a Gravel Pit suggest localized extractive activities. The map provides a precise view of the section lines and rural road networks that structured life in this northwestern North Dakota landscape before modern developments altered the local character.
