About this map

Kilgore Lake and the surrounding prairie of North Dakota's McHenry and Pierce County line are documented here during the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by its glacial potholes and small water bodies, including Red Lake, Stony Lake, and Smoky Lake. This area was primarily organized around rural school districts, a pattern typical of mid-century Great Plains agriculture. Educational hubs such as Sandale Sch No 1 and German Sch No 3 served the local farming families, though the transition toward larger districts is already evident with the notation of Sandale Sch No 3 as an abandoned site. A small Gravel Pit represents one of the few departures from the dominant agricultural and natural terrain of Jefferson and Gorman townships.
