1956 Map of Hecla

About this map

Hecla serves as the primary hub of this prairie landscape during the mid-1950s, situated at the intersection of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and local rural routes. The town is depicted with its Town Hall and essential civic infrastructure, while the surrounding plains are dotted with agricultural features such as flowing wells and the Bell Sch. The map straddles the state line between North Dakota and South Dakota, illustrating the transition between the townships of Port Emma, Lovell, Liberty Twp, and Hecla.
