1951 Map of Josephine

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the heart of the Benson County prairie, defining the development of the settlement at Josephine. This mid-century survey captures the agricultural and social structure of the plains, where rural life centered on local institutions such as Stony Lake Ch, Antelope Valley Ch, and School No 1. The landscape is characterized by its glacial hydrology, with Stony Lake and the winding course of Peterson Cowlee providing the primary drainage for the surrounding townships of Aurora, Oberon, and West Antelope. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the rail line, while the scattered farmsteads across the grid reflect the enduring homesteading patterns of central North Dakota.
