1940 Map of Aylmer

About this map

Antelope Lake and Aylmer Lake dominate the northern landscape of this 1930s North Dakota prairie survey, where the local economy was anchored by two major rail lines. The Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads cross the territory, establishing essential transit points for grain and livestock at Anamoose, Martin, Clifton, and Aylmer. This map reveals a densely organized rural society with an exceptional concentration of local school districts, including New German Sch No 1, Georgetown Sch No 1, and Lakeview Sch No 3. These institutions, alongside country churches like Berlin Ch and Hillsdale Ch, reflect the early 20th-century settlement patterns across McHenry, Pierce, Sheridan, and Wells counties before the consolidation of rural communities. The inclusion of the Martin Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogical researchers tracing family roots in this agricultural heartland.
