1961 Map of Lake Coe

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Lake Coe and a chain of surrounding prairie lakes dominate this Eddy County landscape during the early 1960s. The area is defined by its glacial topography, featuring numerous scattered depressions and water bodies including Cherry Lake, Medicine Lake, and Ninemile Lake. The map reveals a rural educational system centered on small, numbered district facilities like School No 9 and School No 8, which served the farming families within the townships of Lake Washington, Colvin, and Paradise. A single Landing Field situated near South Washington Lake provides a glimpse into local aviation of the era, while several Gravel Pits suggest the localized extraction of glacial deposits for road building. This survey, completed as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, captures the intricate network of fence and field lines that organized the North Dakota prairie before the widespread consolidation of modern agricultural tracts.
