About this map

Port Emma and the surrounding townships in Dickey County define this 1950s agrarian landscape, where the Great Northern Railroad cuts through the southeastern plains. The map illustrates a strictly organized rural society established during the mid-century, evidenced by the regular spacing of one-room schoolhouses like School No 1, School No 2, and School No 4 serving the scattered farmsteads.

Boundaries for Yorktown, Kent, Ada, and Hudson delineate the territory, while natural water features remain sparse, highlighted by a notable Flowing Well in the western reaches. This survey was produced as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, documenting a period when these small township centers and rail lines were the primary infrastructure for the local farming community near Clement.
