1951 Map of Flora

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the glacial till of Benson County, anchoring the small community of Flora. This early 1950s survey captures a quintessential North Dakota prairie landscape organized by the section lines of North Viking, Aurora, South Viking, and West Antelope townships. The most dramatic topographic relief is found in the south, where the Sheyenne River meanders through a deep valley, joined by the distinctive Peterson Coulee. Local civic life is evidenced by the presence of a Town Hall and rural education centers like School No. 4 and School No. 8. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several local landmarks including Maddock Cem and Flora Cem, alongside industrial markers like the Gravel Pit along the river bluffs.
