About this map

Isolated schools and farm-to-market roads define this Sheridan County landscape as it appeared during the development of the Missouri River Basin project. The map illustrates a rural educational network including Herr Sch No 1, Mountain City Sch No 1, and Hellman Sch No 2, serving the townships of Lincoln Dale and McClusky. These rural hubs provided essential community structure in a region dominated by prairie depressions and small sloughs.

Spiritual and commemorative life is marked by the Reformed Ch and the Westheim Cem, alongside unnamed Cem locations. A significant infrastructure change appears in later revisions, showing a large Canal cutting through the southwestern sections. This addition, along with various Gravel Pits, signals the mid-century transition toward larger-scale water management and road improvement efforts in central North Dakota.
