1951 Map of Eldridge NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Northern Pacific railroad tracks bisect this Stutsman County landscape, following the low-lying terrain of the Minneapolis Flats through the townships of Windsor and Eldridge. Compiled as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, this 1951 survey documents a transition from the glacial pothole lakes of the north to the managed agricultural divisions in the south. Notable water bodies include the large Deer Lake and the smaller Adkinson Lake, which sit amidst a topography marked by subtle depressions and rises. Local infrastructure is sparse but specific, with School No 2 serving the rural population and industrial Gravel Pits located near the rail line, indicating the region's reliance on the railroad for both transport and local commerce in the mid-20th century.
