About this map

The Souris River meanders across this McHenry County landscape in a complex series of oxbows and tight bends, a defining hydrological feature surveyed shortly after the war. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Wintering River flows toward its confluence, passing through the township of Villard. This 1950 record highlights the rural social structure of the era, marked by a distributed network of one-room schoolhouses including School No 1, Wintering Sch No 2, and School No 4. The presence of the Norway Lutheran Ch suggests a focal point for the local pioneer community, while several water bodies like Poison Lake and Heffner Lake dot the prairie uplands. These details capture the transition of the North Dakota plains during the Department of the Interior’s mid-century Missouri River Basin development program.
