1949 Map of Deering SW

About this map

The rolling prairies of northern North Dakota are defined by a high concentration of small kettle ponds and wetlands across Mckinley, Maryland, and Nebrose townships. This 1940s landscape, later updated in the late 1970s, reveals a rural infrastructure built around local education and faith, featuring School No 2, School No 4, and Emmanuel Ch. The terrain is characterized by intricate contour lines showing a complex drainage pattern that feeds numerous small, unnamed water bodies. Modern communication is represented by a Radio Sta in the southern portion of the survey. The map's detail provides a look at the section-line road network that anchored the agricultural community during the post-war era before significant field consolidation.
