About this map

The rural landscapes of Ward County appear here in a post-war state, characterized by a dispersed settlement pattern and a reliance on local township centers. The townships of McKinley, Maryland, Newbrose, and Surrey divide the terrain, which is dotted with numerous small wetlands and basins. Education in the late 1940s remained decentralized, as evidenced by a numbered system of rural schoolhouses such as School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3 scattered across the prairies. These sites, along with Emmanuel Ch, served as the primary social anchors for the surrounding farming community. The drainage is defined by the winding course of Egg Creek in the north and Livingston Creek to the southwest. A lone Radio Sta near the eastern boundary represents the technological footprint of the era in this largely agricultural region.
