1956 Map of Claremont

About this map

The town of Claremont serves as the primary hub of this mid-century survey in Brown County, positioned along the Great Northern railroad. The surrounding landscape is defined by the expansive townships of Shelby, Detroit, Columbia, and Claremont, reflecting the organized agricultural layout of the Missouri River Basin development era. A series of water management and irrigation features are visible, most notably the Crow Creek Drainage Ditch and several instances of a Flowing Well, indicating the importance of groundwater in this prairie environment.
