1949 Map of Eckman

About this map

The railroad junction at Eckman serves as the focal point for this late 1940s survey of the North Dakota prairie. Two major rail lines, the Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie, intersect here, illustrating the importance of rail transport for the region's agricultural economy. The landscape is dotted with small-scale rural landmarks that were vital to the social fabric of the era, including School No 2, Betania Ch, and Holden Ch. Toward the southern edge of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions into the riparian corridors of Deep River and Cut Bank Creek, where the Riverside Cem is situated. The map also delineates several township boundaries, such as Hastings and Lewis, providing a detailed look at the local jurisdictional organization during the post-war period.
