1945 Map of Manfred

About this map

The James River meanders through the central prairie of Wells County in this mid-1940s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by highly organized township settlement. The village of Manfred serves as the primary hub along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie River railroad line, which cuts diagonally across the northern townships. The area is notable for its dense network of rural school districts and religious centers, reflecting a time when local life revolved around the immediate section line. Notable landmarks include the Seventh Day Adventist Ch, St Peters Ch, and the Eigenheim Ch. This map reveals the specific placement of numbered schoolhouses, such as Pioneer Sch No 3 and Whitby Sch No 1, which supported a dispersed farming population. The terrain transitions from the water-rich area around Egg Lake to the more dramatic topography of Pony Gulch in the south.
