About this map

The settlement of Lockhart stands as the central point of this mid-1960s agricultural survey, where the Great Northern railroad cuts a straight north-south line through the flat prairie. This landscape is defined by an extensive and orderly engineering network of water management, evidenced by the numerous drainage features like Judicial Ditch No 52, County Ditch No 11, and County Ditch No 22 that follow section lines to reclaim the land for farming.

Divided into townships such as Good Hope, Pleasant View, and Anthony, the region shows a sparse but established rural community. Outside the immediate vicinity of Lockhart, local history is anchored by the Immanuel Ch and a small Cem, reflecting the cultural footprint of the families who worked these fields. The map also traces a major north-south Pipeline, underscoring the area's role as a corridor for industrial infrastructure in the Red River Valley region near the border of Polk Co and Norman Co.
