1951 Map of Martin

About this map

The settlement of Martin serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the North Dakota prairie, situated at the junction of three counties. The Soo Line railroad cuts diagonally across the landscape, connecting the town to the surrounding agricultural districts of White, Truman, and Hillsdale. This era of the region’s development is clearly defined by its community infrastructure, including the New German Sch No 2, Reform Sch, and Hillsdale Ch. The terrain is punctuated by significant water bodies such as Clear Lake, Alkali Lake, and Johnson Lake, several of which are integrated into the National Waterfowl Production Area. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Lutheran Cem and Evangelical Cem, situated northwest of the main town site.
