1939 Map of Niagara

Rural life in the mid-1930s is documented through an extensive network of country schools and churches, such as the Luth Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside namesake landmarks like Lunney Sch and Christianson Sch. Water management in this semi-arid region is evident in the Georgeson Dam and numerous small prairie potholes including Pickard Slough, Rugh Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. The drainage patterns of the North Branch Turtle River and North Fork Goose River reveal how the moraine serves as a local watershed divide.
