1950 Map of Carrington East

About this map

The city of Carrington serves as a significant rail junction at mid-century, where the Northern Pacific and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads intersect. This 1950 survey, developed as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin program, captures the agricultural landscape of Foster County. The township grid is dotted with small-scale educational landmarks like School No 1 and School No 4, reflecting the rural school system of the era. North of the city, the Carrington Water Works and Sewage Disposal facility sit near Scotts Slough, indicating early municipal infrastructure. To the west, the Carrington Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families during this period of North Dakota's development.
