About this map

Reardan serves as a central hub on this mid-century survey, situated at the intersection of the Sunset Highway and the Great Northern railroad. The landscape is defined by its agricultural character and rolling coulees, with numerous social halls like Spring Creek Grange and Waukon Grange anchoring the rural community. The map details the transition of local infrastructure, noting several decommissioned sites such as District School No 1 and Moraine Sch.

Moving south toward Edwall, the terrain is punctuated by prominent landmarks like Hanning Butte and Magnison Butte. Waterways including Crab Creek and the forks of Deep Creek trace through the eastern portion of the quadrangle near the Lincoln and Spokane County border. This 1953 revision provides a clear record of established settlements like Espanola and Waukon during a period of shifting rural school districts and expanding regional highways.
