1945 Map of Pelican Lake

About this map

Sheridan and McLean Counties are defined here by a dense distribution of one-room schoolhouses and a landscape of glacial prairie potholes. The mid-century map reveals a highly structured rural society where townships like Byersville, Medicine Hill, and Wise supported their own localized education networks, including Byersville Sch No 1 and Prophets Sch No 3. These schools, often spaced just a few miles apart, served the families farming the high ground between the region's many water bodies.
