1941 Map of Hallock

About this map

Hallock serves as the focal point of this Kittson County landscape, situated where the Great Northern railroad and the meandering Two Rivers converge. The agricultural character of the Red River Valley is evident through a dense network of country schoolhouses, such as Grasshopper Sch, West Granville Sch, and Mayflower Sch, which were spaced to serve family farms just before mid-century consolidation. Northward, the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie rail line cuts diagonally through Orleans and Lancaster, facilitating the movement of grain and timber across the international border. Beyond the town sites, landmarks like the Country Club near the river and the Oak View Cem near Northcote provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early twentieth-century settlers in townships like Richardville and Thompson.
