2020 Map of Pondera School

About this map

Lake Elwell dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, its indented shoreline carving into the high plains where the Toole Co Liberty Co boundary line meets the water. The area is defined by a network of rural routes that crisscross the agricultural plateaus, including the evocative Bootlegger Trl and Dead Indian Rd. At the heart of this region sits the site of the Pondera School (Historical), now noted as a historical feature. This specific location at the intersection of Bootlegger Trl and Old Pondera School Rd serves as a primary marker for the local community's educational history. The terrain transitions from the flat expanses of the surrounding townships into the dissected drainage of Timber Coulee, illustrating the relationship between the high prairie and the carved coulees that lead toward the reservoir.
