1945 Map of Maddock
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The Sheyenne River meanders through the heart of the North Dakota prairie, carving a winding path through the Aurora and Viking townships during the mid-1940s. This survey, conducted under the direction of Governor Fred G. Aandahl, documents a landscape defined by its rural infrastructure, where two major rail lines dictate the local economy. The Great Northern railroad services the southern settlements of Heimdal and Hamberg, while the Northern Pacific line connects Maddock and Hesper to the north. This era reveals a dense network of country schools, including Rich Valley School and East Fram School No 4, reflecting a time when the township system supported numerous local school districts. Numerous rural churches like Klara Church and Bethania Church serve as landmarks for genealogists tracing family roots in Benson and Wells counties.
