1956 Map of Freedom

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Medicine Creek winds through the heart of this Frontier County landscape, feeding into the expansive Harry Strunk Lake. This 1956 survey, conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, illustrates the rural distribution of Frontier County’s early-twentieth-century educational and spiritual life. Small rural centers like Freedom and several scattered schools, including Champion Sch, Cottonwood Sch, and School No 92, anchor the community. The land is subdivided into large tracts including Sherman, Orafino, Knowles, and Garfield. Local burial sites such as Prairie Land Cem and a smaller Cem near the lake provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing families in these prairie townships. The map documents the terrain before further modernization, focusing on the water-cut valleys of Cedar Creek, Walnut Creek, and Lime Creek.
