About this map

The Old Fort Sisseton Military Reservation Boundary cuts across this prairie landscape in Marshall County, marking the historical footprint of the 19th-century frontier outpost. During this mid-century survey, the region shows a transition in local education, with School No 1 and School No 2 reflecting a changing rural population even as another School No 1 remained active. To the northwest, the White Lake State Game Refuge encompasses White Lake, while the drainages of Wild Rice Creek and Crow Creek define the local topography. The map illustrates a strictly agricultural and conservation-focused era, with scattered Gravel Pits and named water features like Black Slough and Stink Slough punctuating the township grids of Norland, Wismer, and Victor.
