1950 Map of Oberon SW

About this map

The Sheyenne River cuts a prominent path across this mid-century landscape on the border of Benson and Eddy counties. This 1950 survey, developed as part of the Missouri River Basin program, captures the rural organization of North Dakota's townships, including Oberon, Grandfield, Gates, and Munster. The influence of the Old Indian Reservation Boundary is still clearly marked across the terrain, intersecting the Northern Pacific railroad line near the river valley. Local community life is anchored by dispersed rural institutions such as the Grandfield Ch, the nearby Town Hall, and several one-room schoolhouses like School No 1 and School No 3. To the southeast, the small settlement of Divide and the Divide Sch sit near Shroyer Lake, illustrating the sparse but deliberate settlement pattern of the northern plains before the expansion of modern highway networks.
