About this map

The city of Dickinson serves as the hub of this 1950s prairie landscape, situated where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks parallel the Heart River. The town's civic and educational character is well-defined by the sprawling campus of the State Teachers College and several parochial institutions, including St Patricks Sch and St Wenceslaus Sch. This era captures the community as it manages both agricultural and industrial growth, evidenced by the presence of an Oil Refinery and several Oil Well sites on the outskirts of town.

North of the residential grid, the terrain rises toward distinctive landmarks like Camels Butte and Seventeen Butte, while the Green River meanders through the valley. Rural education is still represented by outlying structures such as School No 9 and School No 2. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Dickinson Cem, St Patricks Cem, and St Wenceslaus Cem, anchoring the local history of the Stark County seat.
