1964 Map of Lidgerwood

About this map

Lidgerwood serves as the primary hub of this Richland County landscape, situated at the junction of the Great Northern Line and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier transportation patterns. The surrounding prairies are defined by a complex network of glacial wetlands and water bodies, including Silver Lake, Bisek Lake, and the expansive Grass Lake. This 1964 survey captures the township's religious and civic infrastructure through the placement of the Bohemian Cem, St Johns Cem, and a rural Townhall. The presence of the Duerr Landing Strip and a Sewage Disposal Pond near the town center reflect mid-century utility and infrastructure developments. Further south, Wahl Lake and Elm Lake dot the landscape, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of the Grant and Duerr townships before modern large-scale land alterations.
