About this map

The James River meanders through this agricultural landscape in Wells County, defining the boundaries and movement of the mid-century prairie. The tiny settlement of Bremen serves as a local hub along the Great Northern railroad, which cuts through the northeastern corner of the map. This postwar study reveals a highly organized township system, with School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3 strategically placed to serve the surrounding farmsteads. Religious and community life is anchored by St Josephs Ch and the German Baptist Cem, reflecting the heritage of the Germantown and Hamburg townships. The map is a product of the Department of the Interior's program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the region's topography during a period of transition in rural North Dakota.
