1954 Map of Leverich

About this map

Great Northern rail lines cut diagonally across this Pierce County landscape, passing through the small settlement of Leverich. The mid-century map illustrates a rural educational system defined by numbered district schools, including Hendrickson School No 1, Hendrickson School No 3, and Hendrickson School No 4, while noting the Banner School No 4 (Abandoned) further north. This level of detail provides an important record of the prairie schoolhouse era as it began to shift. To the southeast, the presence of the Rugby Airport signifies the integration of modern aviation into the agricultural plains. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate local resource extraction, serving the road and rail infrastructure that ties these remote townships together.
