1957 Map of Churchs Ferry
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Churchs Ferry and the nearby village of Maza are the primary hubs of activity in this northern North Dakota landscape during the mid-1950s. The survey illustrates a region defined by its complex hydrologic systems, where Lake Irvine and the Chain Lakes dominate the central topography. These water bodies are connected by Mauvais Coulee, while the surrounding prairie is protected by significant conservation areas including the Lac Aux Mortes National Wildlife Refuge and the Silver Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The rail-based economy of the era is evident through the prominent route of the Great Northern railroad, which bisects the territory and links the various township sections. Local landmarks such as the Zion Cem and scattered Gravel Pit operations provide specific points of interest for those researching family history or historical land use in Ramsey, Benson, and Towner Counties.
