1950 Map of Mitchell Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Mitchell Lake and its surrounding prairie townships define this 1950 landscape in Hyde County. This survey, part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program, provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the mid-century. Scattered among the section lines are essential community anchors for farm families, including the Edwin Ch and the Pleasant View Cem in the northwestern corner. The distribution of education across these townships is visible through small rural schoolhouses like the South Illinois Sch and East Douglas Sch. The terrain is characterized by numerous small depressions and basins common to this part of the Great Plains, with Lake Douglas serving as another prominent water body. The township organization is clearly delineated, showing the boundaries between Illinois, Eden, Douglas, and Washington.
