1948 Map of New Rockford

About this map

New Rockford serves as the focal point of this late 1940s survey, situated where the Northern Pacific railroad lines intersect in central North Dakota. The landscape is a study in early mid-century prairie development, featuring a dense network of country schools like Rockford Consolidated Sch and Estabrook Sch that supported the surrounding agricultural townships of Munster, Rosefield, and Estabrook. The winding course of the James River and Rocky Run cut through the terrain, while the local infrastructure includes the New Rockford Airfield and the New Rockford Country Club. Further south, the settlement of Barlow is noted alongside the Barlow Cem, providing a detailed look at the community structure of Eddy and Foster counties during this era.
