1958 Map of Fillmore

About this map

Fillmore stands as a focal point in this 1950s landscape, situated along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad line. The map captures a quintessential North Dakota prairie environment, where the boundary between Pierce Co and Benson Co cuts through a glaciated terrain defined by numerous small depressions and sloughs. Local life and history are anchored by landmarks like St Anns Cem, while the agrarian and natural character of the region is emphasized by large water bodies such as Cranberry Lake and Sand Lake. This survey illustrates the relationship between the rail corridor and the surrounding townships of Iowa, Elverum, and Impark, showing a region shaped by both the iron rail and the unique geography of the Reno Valley.
