About this map

The James River meanders through the heart of this mid-century landscape, defining the agricultural and industrial character of Eddy County. Just east of the New Rockford city boundary, the terrain transitions into the broad reaches of Pleasant Prairie and Superior. The influence of the Great Northern railroad is evident, providing the essential transport link for local commerce and the small settlement of Dundas.

Rural education centers serve as primary landmarks across the township, with the Rockford Sch, School No 2, and Schwoebel Sch distributed to reach the farming families of the era. The land is marked by numerous water features including Rocky Run and Schwoebel Slough, while scattered Gravel Pit operations highlight the local extraction efforts during this period of Missouri River Basin development.
