1952 Map of Grand Rapids

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The James River meanders sharply through the heart of the LaMoure County prairie, defining the landscape around the small settlement of Grand Rapids. This 1952 survey, part of the Missouri River Basin development program, captures a rural community organized by the Northern Pacific railroad corridor. The presence of several schools, including School No 1 and School No 4, alongside noted inactive locations like School No 2 (Abandoned), suggests a shift in the local education system during the mid-century. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the hydrology of Twin Lakes and Pearl Lake, while the community center features Memorial Park and a local Cem. The map illustrates the classic Great Plains township structure, with boundaries for Grandview, Gladstone, and Grand Rapids dividing the agricultural expanse.
