1949 Map of Bowbells NE

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States defines the northern edge of this North Dakota landscape, where the Saskatchewan and North Dakota boundary meets the rural prairie. This mid-century survey centers on the significant waterway of Des Lacs and Upper Des Lacs Lake, much of which is contained within the Upper Des Lacs Migratory Bird Refuge. The map reveals a highly structured rural educational system, with several numbered schoolhouses dotting the sections, including Lakeside Sch No 2 and North Star Sch No 4. The terrain is marked by the Tenth Guide Meridian and the border between Burke and Renville counties. Engineering of the water system is evidenced by the Spillway Elev 1786, while regional names like Rockford and Lakeview identify the township divisions of this agricultural frontier.
