1949 Map of Newburg SW

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The winding course of the Deep River dominates this post-war landscape in McHenry County, where the prairie is etched with the drainage patterns of Spring Coulee and Little Deep Creek. This 1949 survey illustrates a rural social structure anchored by small community centers like the Town Hall and a network of district schools, including two distinct locations labeled School No 1 and School No 2. The presence of the Deep River Ch, St Paul Cem, and Lutheran Cem highlights the importance of faith and lineage in this North Dakota farming region. Land use is organized around township grids, specifically within Pratt and Grilley, where the topography was meticulously documented just before the mid-century to support the development of the Missouri River Basin. The intricate contouring reveals the subtle elevation changes of the coulees and river bottoms that defined life in the Northern Plains during this era.
