1948 Map of Hanks

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The town of Hanks serves as the focal point for this late-1940s survey of Williams County, situated along the Great Northern railroad line. The map highlights a rural economy transitioning between the northern prairie's agricultural roots and its mineral potential, evidenced by the Bobittz Mine and Erke Mine positioned north of the rail corridor. Local education and community structures are well-preserved in this record, showing the locations of School No 2, Poling Sch, and Eureka No 2 Sch across the open landscape. Topographical interest is found in the steep draws leading into Scoria Creek and the prominence of Barr Butte. For genealogists, the inclusion of the Hanks Cem and Gladys Cem provides essential location data for early family sites in these townships.
