1959 Map of McClusky

About this map

Mc Clusky serves as the central hub of this Sheridan County landscape, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by a traditional Midwestern grid, with Silbaugh Park providing a community space in the heart of town. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is characterized by a high concentration of prairie potholes and small water bodies, including Johns Lake and Pop Lake to the south. This 1959 survey reveals the decentralized education system of the era, marking rural schoolhouses that served the surrounding farmsteads. These include Whittaker Sch No 1 in the southeast, Johns Lake Sch No 2 near the lakefront, and School No 4 in the eastern section of the township. The map provides a precise record of these community landmarks and the local road network connecting the townships of Mc Clusky and Lamont.
