1956 Map of Hecla NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Rural schoolhouses and scattered wetlands define this prairie landscape along the border of Dickey and Sargent counties in North Dakota, extending south into Brown County, South Dakota. During the mid-1950s, the region was characterized by township-organized land use, including Lovell, Hecla, and Portage. The interior topography is remarkably flat, punctuated only by small depressions and the presence of localized educational hubs like Eaton Sch No 2 and Tiry Sch. These school districts served a dispersed farming population before the consolidation of rural districts in the latter half of the twentieth century. The map also records the precise intersection of the state line, where South Dakota and North Dakota meet, as well as several local sites like Pearson Sch and Johnson Sch that once anchored these small agricultural communities.
