1951 Map of Flora

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through this mid-century landscape of central North Dakota, defining the boundary between Benson and Wells counties. This era reveals a rural society structured around the Northern Pacific railroad, with small grain-elevator settlements like Flora and Josephine serving as vital shipping points. The land is dotted with a dense network of country schoolhouses, such as School No 4 and School No 8, and community focal points including the Viking Ch and Antelope Valley Ch. The topography is marked by glacial features like Black Hammer Hill and numerous prairie potholes including Goose Lake, Norway Lake, and Zumpf Lake. These water bodies and local landmarks like the Town Hall reflect the established civic life of the North Viking and West Antelope townships during a time when small-scale agriculture and local rail service remained the backbone of the region.
