1947 Map of Pelican Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and scattered rural schoolhouses define this mid-century landscape in Sheridan and McLean Counties. The terrain is marked by a high density of small water bodies such as Pelican Lake, Cherry Lake, and Seibold Lake, which break up the geometric township grid. This 1945 survey reflects a post-war agrarian community where social life revolved around local school districts and rural parishes, evidenced by the central Immanuel Ch and the southern Our Savior Cem.
