1952 Map of Eldridge

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Pipestem Creek carves a deep valley through this Stutsman County landscape, revealing the transition from high prairie to riparian drainage. In the early 1950s, the village of Eldridge served as a key local hub along the Northern Pacific railroad line, which bisects the southern half of the quadrangle. The map documents the organized rural education system of the era, identifying Woodbury School No 5 and Woodbury School No 1 as significant community landmarks. Near the rail line, the Eldridge Cem stands as a primary genealogical resource for the area. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Parkhurst indicates the local industrial activity focused on the valley's geological deposits. This survey reflects the mid-century agricultural character of the region during the Bureau of Reclamation's Missouri River Basin development era.
