About this map

Stump Lake anchors the southwestern corner of this North Dakota landscape, its shoreline defined by 1950 topography and 1949 aerial photography. The region is primarily characterized by a rural grid pattern, dotted with numerous small depressions and potholes typical of the prairie pothole region. This mid-century survey documents the localized educational network of the time, identifying four distinct schoolhouses including School No 4, School No 3, School No 2, and School No 8. These numbered school districts reveal the decentralized community structure of Nelson County during the post-war era. While the terrain is largely agricultural, the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates local small-scale industry supporting the development of the Missouri River Basin. The map also records early township divisions, including the boundaries of Dodds, Wamduska, and Williams.
