1948 Map of Burlington
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Souris River and Des Lacs River define the agricultural landscape of Ward County in this mid-century survey. The confluence near Burlington sits at the heart of a valley marked by an extensive Irrigation Ditch system, supporting the regional farming economy. In the north, the terrain transitions to the open prairie of Muskego and Vann townships, where the section-line road network is punctuated by a dense distribution of rural schoolhouses like Stamen Sch No 2 and Copeland Sch No 1. Local social life of the era is anchored by landmarks such as Lynch Ch, the Minot Country Club, and the Port O' Minot Airport on the outskirts of Minot. This record captures the precise placement of numerous numbered school districts and country churches before the consolidation of rural services transformed the North Dakota plains.
