1970 Map of Fulda SW

About this map

Jack Creek meanders through the heart of this prairie landscape, defining a rural Nobles County terrain dominated by a systematic network of drainage projects like Judicial Ditch No 20 and Judicial Ditch No 80. This 1970 field check reveals a community centered on agricultural infrastructure and small rural hubs, notably at Pfingsten, which sits near the Immanuel Ch. The northeast corner is clipped by the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, illustrating the transport links that once served these townships. In the south, the Groth State Wildlife Management Area provides a break from the gridded section lines. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of the Seward Cem and the various gravel pits that once supported local road building and industry across Bloom and Seward townships.
