1956 Map of Miscol SW

About this map

Standing Rock Indian Reservation land defines the landscape of this mid-century survey, which reveals a sparsely populated prairie environment focused on isolated rural community hubs. The map identifies the township of Fairview, where long-standing educational landmarks like Lone Tree Sch and Little Oak Sch served the local ranching families. The terrain is primarily shaped by the meandering course of High Bank Creek, which provides the primary drainage through the rolling hills. This 1956 field check, updated with mid-1980s aerial data, captures the enduring agricultural patterns of Fairview before more modern infrastructure arrived, offering a clear record for those tracing land allotments or family school districts in the Miscol area.
