About this map

The borderlands of Renville Co and Ward Co define this northern plains landscape as it appeared in the late 1940s. A network of rural section lines organizes the territory into distinct townships including Muskego, Van Buren, St Marys, and Waterford. This survey reveals a high density of one-room schoolhouses essential to the agrarian community of the era, such as School No 3 and the specifically named Stamen School No 2. In the southwest corner, the map provides a glimpse of the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge, where the terrain transitions toward the water management and conservation zones along the Souris River valley. The numerous depressions and small potholes across the quadrangle indicate the characteristic glacial prairie pothole region of North Dakota.
