1950 Map of Deering

About this map

Agricultural lands across the border of McHenry, Ward, and Renville Counties dominate this mid-century survey, defined by the winding paths of Little Deep Creek and Egg Creek. The town of Deering serves as the primary hub along the Great Northern railroad, which cuts diagonally across the prairie landscape. This era shows a distributed network of rural life, with numerous numbered schoolhouses and country churches such as Nidarose Ch and Bethany Ch anchoring the surrounding townships. Local drainage patterns are detailed through features like Spring Coulee and Hay Coulee, illustrating the hydrological character of the region before significant modern alteration. Smaller settlements like Wolseth and landmarks such as a Radio Sta and the Bethel Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of these North Dakota communities.
