1955 Map of Lake Upsilon SW

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation Boundary bisects this mid-century landscape, marking the transition from the lake-dotted highlands of the Turtle Mountains to the lower expanse of Shell Valley. This 1955 survey reveals a rural infrastructure built around local education and faith, featuring several family-named and community schoolhouses such as Great Walker Sch, Pigeon Sch, Roussin Sch, and Russell Sch. The Great Northern railroad cuts through the southwestern corner, paralleling Snake Creek as it moves toward the valley floor. Water is central to the local geography, from larger bodies like Johnson Lake and Howard Lake in the north to the distinctive Holywater Spring and the quiet grounds of Lakeview Cem further south. The map provides a precise look at the township grid and rural homesteads during the post-war era of North Dakota agriculture.
