About this map

The Chicago and North Western railway cuts a straight horizontal path across this central Faulk County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for a region defined by its townships and water bodies. This 1950s-era geography highlights the rural organization of Elroy, Oneil, Seneca, and Latham, where section lines and local landmarks provide a clear record of mid-century prairie settlement.

Educational and civic life are anchored by the Seneca Common Sch and Latham Sch, while the Oakland Cem stands as a point of interest for those researching local family history. The hydrology of the area is marked by Ford Lake, Latham Lake, and the winding South Fork Snake Creek, which meanders through the southern sections. This survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's efforts toward the development of the Missouri River Basin.
