1949 Map of Mohall SW

About this map

Little Deep Creek meanders through this portion of Renville County, carving a subtle path across a landscape defined by the rural townships of Hamerly and Hamlet. At the time of this 1948 topography survey, the area was organized around a network of local institutions, including St Johns Church and Hamerly Ch, which served as social and spiritual anchors for the farming community. The map reveals a highly structured system of education typical of the mid-century Northern Plains, with numbered schoolhouses like School No 1 through School No 5 distributed systematically across the sections. These specific locations offer essential coordinates for genealogists tracing family land or researchers studying the historical distribution of rural public works before the consolidation of North Dakota's school districts.
