1949 Map of Niobe

About this map

The railroad junction at Niobe serves as a focal point for this late 1940s landscape on the boundary of Burke and Ward Counties. The settlement sits at the confluence of the Great Northern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie rail lines, which cut through a terrain defined by deep glacial drainage channels like Ankenbauer Coulee and Niobe Coulee. This survey provides a detailed look at the rural social infrastructure of the era, marking the precise locations of local schools such as Ellendale Sch, Elmdale Sch, and Spencer Sch, alongside the Bethane Cem and Niobe Cem. To the northeast, the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge borders the waters of Upper Des Lacs Lake, showing the early conservation efforts in the Missouri River Basin project area.
