1949 Map of Fessenden SW

About this map

The northern Great Plains landscape of Wells County is documented here during a period of post-war agricultural stability. This 1949 edition focuses on the rural townships of Saint Anna, West Ontario, and Speedwell, where the land is divided into a systematic grid of sections. Local life centers on the Bowman Sch and community burial grounds such as Dunkerd Cem and Byrnjuison Cem. The drainage pattern is defined by the winding course of Rocky Run, which flows toward a cluster of prairie lakes including Duck Lake, Cottonwood Lake, and the local namesake Lake Ontario. A solitary Windmill stands in the northern reaches, a practical necessity for the scattered farmsteads of this era.
