1947 Map of Lincoln Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Lincoln Valley settlement and its surrounding prairie townships are captured here during the post-war period of the late 1940s. This agricultural landscape in Sheridan County and Wells County is defined by a remarkably dense network of rural school districts, including Mountain City Sch No 1 and Germantown Sch No 2, reflecting the decentralized educational structure of the era. Natural features such as the Sheyenne River and Skogmo Lake break the grid of section lines, while landmarks like Skogmo Cem and the Reformed Ch serve as anchors for the local farming community. The detailed plotting of individual school houses across numerous townships—from Hellman Sch No 1 to Gransville Sch No 3—provides a clear look at the human geography of the North Dakota plains before the mid-century trend of school consolidation changed the rural social fabric.
