1955 Map of Fullerton NE

About this map

The James River snakes through the northeast corner of this mid-century prairie landscape, defining the edge of a broad valley. The region is predominantly agricultural, partitioned into the townships of Wright, Yorktown, and Clement. Transportation and commerce during this era were anchored by the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad, which cuts a straight line across the southern half of the map. A central Town Hall serves as a civic landmark for the surrounding rural population. The distribution of rural education is clearly visible through a numbered network of local schoolhouses, including School No 1, School No 2, and School No 3, while School No 4 (Abandoned) reflects the shifting demographics and consolidation of the time. Multiple points labeled Flowing Well suggest the importance of groundwater access for the farms of Dickey County.
