About this map

Isolated ranches and small rural schools define the character of this mid-century Sandhills landscape, mapped as part of a post-war effort for the development of the Missouri River Basin. The settlement at Flats and the nearby Lena serve as anchors for a vast ranching network that includes the Bassett Ranch, J Daly Ranch, and Diamond Bar Ranch. The distribution of scattered education centers, such as Prairie Dale Sch and Center Valley Sch, alongside the Center Valley Ch, illustrates the infrastructure required to support a sparse, wide-ranging population across the undulating terrain.
