1969 Map of North Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Black River meanders through this landscape, creating a complex network of sandbars and oxbows within the State Game Refuge between North Bend and Melrose. The map documents a predominantly agricultural region defined by its distinct "coulee" topography, where narrow valleys like Bell Coulee, Sullivan Coulee, and Wet Coulee carve into the uplands of Farmington. This 1969 field-checked survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, from the centralized Melrose-Mindoro High Sch to local landmarks like Camp Ehawee. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Farmington Cem and Black Oak Cem, alongside vanished rural schoolhouses such as Red School and the Burr Oak Sch near the settlement of Burr Oak.
