1958 Map of Balta SE

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Girard Lake dominates the rolling prairie landscape of Pierce County in this mid-century survey, surrounded by a complex network of smaller sloughs and water bodies typical of North Dakota's glacial terrain. The map captures a transition in rural education within the Elling township area, documenting both active and closed facilities including Lakeview Sch No 1 and the decommissioned Girard Lake Sch No 2 (Abandoned) and Girard Lake Sch No 3 (Abandoned). This pattern of abandoned schoolhouses reflects the shifting population and consolidation of farming communities during the 1950s. Near Antelope Lake and Battema Lake, scattered Gravel Pits indicate local resource extraction, while the surrounding topography reveals a high density of seasonal wetlands across the township.
