1950 Map of Brantford
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
Brantford stands as the primary rail settlement on this mid-century survey, situated along the Great Northern railroad in the northern reaches of Foster County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the James River and the undulating plains of Pleasant Prairie and Nordmore. Rural life is meticulously documented through a network of numbered country schoolhouses, including School No. 1 through School No. 4, and Plainview Sch No 2. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of the Kvernes Ch and the Brantford Cem. The map captures the region's agricultural character just as the Department of the Interior was focusing on the development of the Missouri River Basin, documenting the essential water sources like Kelly Creek and Rusten Slough that sustained these prairie townships.
