About this map

Bethany Ch and several rural schoolhouses anchor this North Dakota prairie landscape just south of the Renville and Ward County line. Surveyed in the late 1940s, the map reveals a land defined by agricultural division and water management, where Little Deep Creek and its southern tributary, Egg Creek, wind through the terrain. The presence of numbered school sites like School No 1 and School No 4 reflects the decentralized educational system of the era, serving the homesteads that once dotted these townships. Transportation is dominated by the Great Northern railroad, which cuts across the northern landscape near Spring Coulee. The topography is notably marked by large township identifiers, including Ensign, Prescott, Taman, and Margaret, indicating the formal land survey structure that organized the region's development.
