1963 Map of Pierce NW

About this map

Clover Valley and the surrounding Pierce County landscape appear here during a period of steady agricultural use in the early 1960s. The terrain is characterized by the meandering path of Willow Creek, which carves through the central sections of the survey area. This map provides a detailed view of the rural educational and social infrastructure of the time, documenting the precise locations of several numbered country schools including School No 14 R, School No 26, and School No 40, alongside the named Tawney Sch. The distribution of these schoolhouses, paired with local landmarks like Trinity Cem and Lambrecht Cem, illustrates a settled prairie community organized around small, localized districts. Fine dashed lines across the townships indicate field and fence lines as they were visible from 1961 aerial photography, offering genealogists a rare look at property divisions during this era.
