About this map

The Maple River meanders through the northwest corner of this mid-century landscape in Brown County, defined by its traditional township boundaries and dispersed rural infrastructure. Surveyed as part of the Missouri River Basin development program, the area is partitioned into several distinct sections including Osceola, Savo, Frederick, Richland, Oneota, and Brainard.

Social and community life centers on small local landmarks such as Aurland Ch and rural education sites like Sumption Sch and School No 1. The map reveals a reliance on essential plains infrastructure, featuring a scattered Windmill and the Niva Landing Field. Genealogists will find particular value in the marked Savo Cem and Frederick Cem, while the presence of a Gravel Pit indicates the local industrial activity of the early 1950s.
