1958 Map of Hamlin

About this map

The Wild Rice River meanders across this rural landscape in southeastern North Dakota, serving as a primary geographical anchor between the townships of Hall and Herman. This late-1950s survey documents the agricultural character of the region, where isolated rural institutions like Immanuel Ch and several one-room schoolhouses, including School No 1 and School No 2, defined the community structure. The settlement of Hamlin sits at a critical junction near the river, accompanied by a small Landing Field that hints at the integration of aviation into rural mid-century life. Further south, the terrain transitions into a more water-laden environment characterized by Beere Lake and Murack Lake. The map also clearly delineates the border between Sargent Co and Richland Co, providing a precise record of property and political divisions during this era.
