1954 Map of Aberdeen

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The agricultural plains of the James River valley define this mid-1970s revision, where the city of Aberdeen serves as a major hub for the Milwaukee Road and the Chicago and North Western railroads. This survey illustrates the post-war landscape of the Dakota prairie, marked by grain elevators along the rail lines and a network of smaller communities like Eureka, Ipswich, and Groton. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the James River, which feeds the Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge, a critical sanctuary along the Central Flyway established decades earlier.
