1958 Map of Britton 4 NW

About this map

Hickman, Waverly, and Sisseton townships intersect in this 1958 survey of Marshall County, revealing the dispersed rural infrastructure of the Missouri River Basin during the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the prominent Hickman Lake in the southwestern corner and a rolling topography dotted with small-scale industrial and educational markers. Rural education is anchored by School No 1 and two locations labeled School No 2, serving as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community. Evidence of local industry appears at the Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet, while the map's detailed contour lines trace the drainages and elevations that dictate the placement of section roads and farmsteads.
