1971 Map of York

About this map

York serves as the primary hub of this prairie landscape, situated where the Burlington Northern railroad cuts through the heart of the region. The map highlights the interplay between agriculture and the natural prairie potholes that define this portion of the state, with the county line between Pierce Co and Benson Co dividing the northern townships. To the northwest, the edge of Rush Lake encroaches on the survey area, while scattered Gravel Pits suggest the local industrial activity of the early 1970s. The terrain is notably defined by distinct local divisions such as Knox, York, and Twin Lake, reflecting the township-oriented settlement patterns common to the North Dakota plains.
