About this map

The town of Manfred serves as the rail hub for this section of Wells County, situated along the tracks of the Minneapolis St Paul And Sault Ste Marie. This mid-century landscape is defined by a dense network of township schools and rural churches, reflecting a period of active agrarian community life. Educational facilities are distributed geographically, including Pioneer Sch No 2, Whitby Sch No 3, and Pony Gulch Sch No 1.

Religious and social centers like Eigenheim Ch and St Peters Ch are scattered across the townships of Russian and Pony Gulch. The northern terrain features Egg Lake, while the southern reaches contain the State Game Refuge near the upper James River. The mapping, overseen by the State of North Dakota Water Conservation Commission, documents the precise land divisions and local infrastructure of the era.
