1951 Map of Flora SE

About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders across this rural landscape, carving a distinct valley through the townships of West Antelope and Grandfield. Published as part of a Missouri River Basin development program, this mid-century record shows a highly organized grid of section lines and gravel roads that define the North Dakota prairie. The map reveals the community structure of the era, where rural life centered around local schoolhouses like School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3. These educational outposts, often spaced just a few miles apart, served the families of the Valhalla and Munster districts. Spiritual life is anchored by Eden Ch and Augustana Ch, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Wells and Eddy counties. Small depressions and wetlands dot the upland terrain, including a prominent unnamed lake south of the river valley, illustrating the glacial topography of the region.
