1957 Map of Farwell NW

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The James River carves through the southwestern corner of this Sanborn Co landscape, which reflects a period of rural transition in the late 1950s. The township structure is clearly defined by the boundaries of Union, Diana, Butler, and Ravenna, showcasing a classic prairie section-line grid. A notable pattern of consolidation or decline is evident in the rural education system, as several local schoolhouses are already marked as defunct. These include the Hodson Sch, Sheldon Sch, Ludwig Sch, and Lyle Sch, while the Goering Sch remains a functional landmark. Waterways like Jim Creek and Dry Run traverse the townships, providing the primary relief in an otherwise strictly organized agricultural environment mapped as part of the Missouri River Basin development program.
