1956 Map of Blackwater Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Ft Berthold Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this mid-century landscape of McLean County, marking a clear administrative division in the prairie terrain. Near the southern edge, the Indian Scout Cem serves as a significant genealogical landmark, while the presence of School No 1 (Abandoned) and School No 2 (Abandoned) reflects shifts in rural education and settlement patterns following the early 1950s. The geography is characterized by numerous small depressions and the drainage of Buffalo Rocks Coulee, leading toward the northern Deepwater region. This survey, grounded in 1953 aerial photography, captures the area before modern infrastructure altered the agrarian and tribal land use of the High Plains, providing a clear view of landmarks like Paint Hill.
