About this map

Lincoln Valley serves as a focal point in this portion of Sheridan County, situated within the townships of Lincoln Dale and New Germantown. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Sheyenne River, which cuts across the central section of the map, and a series of numerous small lakes and depressions characteristic of the regional prairie pothole topography.

A notable distribution of one-room schoolhouses reflects the dispersed rural population of the mid-20th century, including Gransville Sch No 1, Germantown Sch No 2, and Schiller Sch No 2. These community structures, along with the Reformed Ch, highlight the organized social fabric of these remote agricultural townships. A single Gravel Pit near the river indicates localized resource extraction amidst the broader pastoral setting.
