1951 Map of Flora

About this map

The Sheyenne River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a distinct valley through the townships of South Viking and West Antelope. At the center of the northern section, the settlement of Flora serves as a local hub along the Burlington Northern railroad line. This 1951 survey, with revisions noted in 1982, captures a mid-century rural infrastructure characterized by dispersed community landmarks such as School No. 4, School No. 8, and the Town Hall. Genealogical interest is found at the Maddock Cem and Flora Cem, while the industrial presence is limited to local resources like a Gravel Pit near Peterson Coulee. The map illustrates the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System as they intersect with the natural, undulating drainage patterns of the prairie.
