1956 Map of Lake McArthur

About this map

The Turtle Mountains dominate this 1956 landscape along the international border between Canada and the United States. The rugged plateau is dense with small water bodies including Lake McArthur, Lake Couthard, and Lake Taylor, which are characteristic of this glaciated upland region. The survey highlights a dispersed rural community organized around several one-room schoolhouses, such as Hilton Sch No 1, Hilton Sch No 2, and Hilton Sch No 4, alongside the Eidsvold Sch No 4 district. Cultural centers for the local residents are concentrated near the central townships, featuring Manger Ch and its accompanying Manger Cem, as well as Immanuel Ch. In the township of Roland, a lone Town Hall stands as a civic landmark near the headwaters of Oak Creek.
