1939 Map of Glasston

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Great Northern railroad dictates the settlement pattern of this Red River Valley landscape, linking the primary communities of St Thomas, Glasston, and Auburn. Surveyed in the late 1930s, the map reveals a meticulously organized agricultural grid across the townships of Hamilton, Carlisle, and Thomas. This region is defined by its extensive drainage system, where natural features like Willow Creek and Big Slough are supplemented by a network of county ditches. The social fabric of this rural area is clearly visible through its dense concentration of district schools, such as School No 89 and Mugford Sch, alongside the Norwegian Cem and Sugar Siding, reflecting the early 20th-century reliance on rail for transporting local harvests. A crossing of the Pembina Co Walsh Co line in the south further marks the transition between these vital farming districts.
