1957 Map of Cando SE

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Lake Alice and its surrounding wetlands dominate this prairie landscape in Ramsey County and Towner County, reflecting the region's vital role in the central flyway. The establishment of the Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge underscores the conservation efforts in this pocket of North Dakota. For local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, including School No 8 and Chain Lakes Ch. The map also records the gradual consolidation of the rural school system, marking School No 1 (Abandoned) and School No 9 (Abandoned) at a time when many one-room schoolhouses were being left behind. Drainage features like Mauvais Coulee feed into a complex system of interconnected water bodies such as Chain Lake and Mikes Lake, illustrating the post-glacial hydrology that defines this portion of the northern plains.
