About this map

Glacial prairie potholes dominate this North Dakota landscape during the late 1950s, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies. The rural social fabric of McHenry County is clearly visible through the placement of localized institutions, such as St Johns Ch and its accompanying St Johns Cem. Education in this period was distributed across small district facilities, including Long Lake Sch No 1, Long Lake Sch No 2, and Seehafer Sch, illustrating a decentralized community structure.

Transport and industry are represented by the M St P & S Ste M railroad line cutting through the southeastern corner and a local Gravel Pit. Significant water features like Lake Lemer, Long Lake, and Round Lake are meticulously mapped alongside smaller features such as Duckshire Lake and Bromley Lake. The map serves as a detailed record of the land use patterns established as part of the Missouri River Basin development program.
