1956 Map of Makoti SW

About this map

Amundsville and Deepwater townships define the landscape of this 1956 survey, which documents the prairie terrain of central North Dakota along the border of Mountrail and McLean counties. The map focuses heavily on the conservation and social landmarks of the era, most notably the Lake Susie National Wildlife Refuge centered on Lake Susie. The area's rural social infrastructure is well-preserved, showing the placement of the Wright Sch, Bethlehem Ch, and Roseglen Cem. The drainage patterns of Deepwater Creek and numerous small potholes and depressions reflect the glaciated topography characteristic of the region. This detailed record is essential for genealogists tracing families in the Mountrail and Amundsville areas before the consolidation of many rural school districts and parishes.
