About this map

Hawk Creek meanders through the central and southern portions of this Chippewa County landscape, a terrain defined by the rural townships of Louriston, Woods, and Lone Tree. The map captures a high-water mark for mid-century rural infrastructure, showing School No 317 and a local Town Hall situated among a network of section-line roads. This survey, updated with 1970s aerial revisions, provides a clear view of the agricultural and conservation footprint in the region, including multiple tracts designated as State Wildlife Management Area. To the southeast, the Great Northern railroad cuts across the corner of the quadrangle near the Sacred Heart Cem, marking the primary transportation artery for the local grain and produce economy before the consolidation of rail lines.
