About this map

Dickinson serves as the focal point of this Stark County landscape, shown here at a period of mid-century growth and industrial development. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its institutions, featuring the State Teachers College and several parochial centers such as St Patricks Sch and St Wenceslaus Sch. The southern half of the sheet is dominated by the transportation and energy corridor along the Burlington Northern railroad, where an Oil Refinery and numerous Oil Well sites signify the region's resource-driven economy.

Moving north, the terrain transitions from the developed streets of Villard St and Broadway into the open grazing lands and buttes of the Missouri Plateau. Landmarks like Seventeen Butte and Camels Butte rise above the Green River, while rural education is still represented by outlying structures like School No 9 and School No 2. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds, including the Dickinson Cem and St Patricks Cem, providing a clear record of the area's early settlement pattern.
