1960 Map of Lisbon NE

About this map

The Sheyenne River defines the southeastern corner of this Ransom County landscape, winding through the townships of Casey, Shenford, Big Bend, and Scoville. Surveyed for the Missouri River Basin development program, the map documents a strictly rural agricultural environment during the early 1960s. Rural social centers are clearly marked by the presence of School No 2 and School No 5, alongside religious landmarks such as St Paul Ch. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of St Paul Cem and Trinity Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and water bodies, including Dead Colt, reflecting the glacial topography of eastern North Dakota. Evidence of local industry appears at the Gravel Pits located near the river's large southern bend.
