1949 Map of Mosquito Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Spencer and Crowfoot townships anchor this prairie landscape as it appeared in the late 1940s, a region defined by scattered wetlands and remote schoolhouses. The topography is dominated by glacial depressions such as Christensen Slough and Lagorin Slough, while Mosquito Butte serves as a prominent local landmark. This era reveals a rural infrastructure built around community centers like Buck Sch, School No 2, and School No 3, reflecting the density of farmstead populations before the consolidation of mid-century school districts. Religious life is marked by Our Savior Ch and Bethlehem Ch, which stand as focal points for the surrounding families. The map also delineates the meeting point of three counties — Burke, Ward, and Mountrail — providing a clear record of the political and physical boundaries shaping this North Dakota agricultural corridor.
