USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The James River meanders across the northern plains of Wells County, shaping the agricultural landscape of central North Dakota in the mid-1940s. The regional hub of Fessenden serves as a focal point, situated along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad line. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, specifically the high concentration of township schools like Bloomington Sch No 1 and Oshkosh Sch, which reflect the decentralized education system of the era.
