1948 Map of Minot NW

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Souris River carves a significant valley through this landscape north of Minot, defining the area's drainage and topography. Two major rail lines, the Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie, traverse the northern reaches, signaling the region's importance as a transportation corridor during the late 1940s. The upland prairie is marked by a network of drainage features like Gassman Coulee and Larson Coulee, while the rural social fabric is anchored by small nodes such as Ralston and Drady. The presence of several rural schoolhouses, including School No 1 and School No 2, reflects the distributed agrarian population of the era before mid-century school consolidations significantly altered the rural educational landscape.
