About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and the headwaters of the James River define the landscape of Wells County in this mid-century topographical study. The terrain is organized by the traditional township system, showing sections within Rusland, Delger, and West Ontario. Rural life is anchored by a series of schoolhouses, including Eddy School No 1, Eddy School No 3, and Eddy School No 4, which were the primary educational centers for the surrounding farmsteads. A significant community landmark is the Menonite Ch and its adjacent Menonite Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this portion of the North Dakota plains. Conservation efforts of the era are visible at the State Game Refuge, where the topography shows a concentration of wetlands and lakes amidst the surveyed fields and sections of Anna and Haland.
