1948 Map of Bremen

About this map

James River meanders through the central plains of Wells County, shaping a landscape defined by the agricultural townships of Hamburg, Bremen, and Germantown. The settlement of Bremen serves as the primary rail point along the Burlington Northern line in the northeast, reflecting the importance of grain transport in this era. This 1948 survey, updated in the mid-1980s, captures a network of rural education and faith, evidenced by School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3, alongside St Josephs Ch. To the north, the National Waterfowl Production Area indicates a shift toward conservation and land management. The map provides a precise view of the section lines and township boundaries that organized the North Dakota prairie, including the German Baptist Cem which serves as a vital marker for local genealogical research.
