1951 Map of Kensal NW

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Rolling Prairie dominates this Foster County landscape, characterized by a complex network of small wetlands and depressions typical of the Missouri River Basin’s glacial drift. The map reveals a strictly organized rural infrastructure during the early 1950s, where the section-line roads serve as the framework for a dispersed agricultural community. Evidence of local education is prominent, with several district schools including Campbell Sch No 1, Campbell Sch No 4, and McKinley Sch No 3 positioned to serve farm families across the townships. Transportation and commerce are tied to the Great Northern railroad, which cuts across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The terrain is divided into named regions such as McKinnon and Eastman, reflecting the local identification of land tracts in this post-war era of North Dakota farming.
