1949 Map of Deering

About this map

Egg Creek meanders through the heart of this North Dakota landscape, reflecting the prairie's natural drainage patterns at the midpoint of the twentieth century. The terrain is largely defined by agricultural allotments and local watercourses like Hay Coulee, with transportation and industry centered around the Great Northern railroad line in the northeastern corner. This period of development, mapped for the Missouri River Basin project, shows a rural community anchored by institutional landmarks such as School No 1 and School No 4. Local history and genealogy are evidenced by the Baptist Cemetery and several small Gravel Pit sites, which suggest the small-scale extractive activities supporting local road building and maintenance during this era.
