About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and small depressions define the character of the Stutsman County landscape during the late 1950s. The region is marked by a distinctive grid of township and section lines, with rural education hubs like School No 4 and School No 1 serving as central community points. The hydrology is dominated by water bodies such as Cottonwood Lake, Brush Lake, and Deer Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Missouri River Basin development program. Larger terrain features like Paris, Round Top, and Spring Valley provide a sense of the local topography, while modern infrastructure begins to appear in the form of a Microwave Tower. This survey captures a specific moment in North Dakota's agricultural history when small, numbered school districts still anchored the rural townships before the widespread consolidation of the late 20th century.
