1949 Map of Noonan SW

About this map

Blooming Valley and the Frazier Upland define the rugged topography of Divide County just after the war. This rural landscape is heavily dotted with small prairie potholes and kettle lakes, characteristic of the glaciated plains. The map reveals a decentralized community structure where education and faith were tied to specific rural districts rather than town centers. One can find the Blooming Prairie Ch in the northern section, serving the surrounding farms. The distribution of neighborhood schools, including Bluffton No 2 Sch, McCullough No 2 Sch, and Highland No 2 Sch, indicates a period when student populations were still high enough to support numerous one-room schoolhouses across the Hawkeye region before the widespread consolidation of the late 20th century.
