1949 Map of Emrick

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Emrick sits along the Soo Line railroad in the northeastern corner of this Wells County landscape, representing a typical late-1940s North Dakota prairie rail stop. The settlement pattern is defined by large agricultural tracts organized into townships like Germantown, Oshkosh, and South Cottonwood, where local education once centered around rural structures like Oshkosh Sch and Cottonwood Sch. The drainage of Rocky Run meanders south toward Cottonwood Lake, cutting through a glaciated terrain dotted with wetlands now designated as a National Waterfowl Production Area. Genealogy researchers will find the Tolley Cem located near the southern boundary, a quiet anchor for the community's early history during an era when family farms and small-town grain transport were the primary economic drivers of the region.
