About this map

The Wintering River National Wildlife Refuge anchors this section of McHenry County, preserving a landscape of wetlands and winding waterways within the Missouri River Basin. During the late 1950s, this area was defined by the transition from the glaciated plains of Brown and Voltaire to the more dissected terrain of Bjornson and Olivia. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through the seasonal flows of Blacktail Coulee and Spring Coulee, which cut through the undulating prairie towards the Wintering River. Local infrastructure from this era remains sparse, reflecting the rural character of the region. Notable landmarks for genealogical research include the South Prairie Cem and School No 2, providing evidence of the small community hubs that served local farmsteads. Distinctive landforms like Little Butte rise above the surrounding gravel-rich terrain, where several Gravel Pits indicate the local extractive activity of the time.
