1953 Map of Ellendale South

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Ellendale serves as the focal point for this survey along the border of North Dakota and South Dakota, where the prairies of Palmyra, Ellendale, and Osceola townships meet. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific and the Burlington Northern railroads, illustrating the critical role of rail transport in the regional grain and gravel economy. This map reveals a distributed rural educational network, including School No 16, Gustafson Sch, and Senn Sch, which once served the surrounding farmsteads. To the south, the small settlement of Winship sits just across the state line near Dry Branch, providing a detailed view of the borderlands during the mid-20th century. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a Windmill suggests a landscape tied to localized extraction and essential water management for agriculture.
