1966 Map of Browerville NE

About this map

The Long Prairie River winds through the heart of the Moran and Ward townships, shaping a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology and mid-century rural infrastructure. This 1966 survey documents a network of isolated rural schools, including School No 2297 and School No 2348, which served the farming families of Todd County. Local spiritual and communal life is anchored by landmarks like St Isidore Ch and the Swedish Cem, offering valuable data for genealogists tracing Scandinavian or Catholic heritage in the region. The map also captures the early footprints of conservation efforts with the Long Prairie State Wildlife Management Area and Turtle Creek State Wildlife Management Area, preserving the wetlands surrounding Dempsey Lake and Turtle Lake. Scattered gravel pits across the terrain indicate the local extractive industry that supported the development of the township road grid.
