1954 Map of Landa SE

About this map

The Souris River valley defines this mid-century landscape in Bottineau County, where the Lower Souris National Wildlife Refuge stretches across the southwestern corner. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure during the 1950s, including water management features like Dam No 341 Spillway Elev 1416. Local life centers around a scattering of rural institutions such as the Mouse River Ch and Highway Sch, while the presence of School No 5 (Abandoned) suggests early changes in the district's educational geography. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Nedaros Cem and the Town Hall, situated among the township divisions of Eidsvold, Starbuck, and Kane. The meandering course of Boundary Creek cuts through the prairie, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped North Dakota farmstead placement.
