About this map

Surrey and the expansive plateaus of New Prairie and North Prairie define this 1940s landscape at the boundary of Ward and McHenry Counties. The region’s development is anchored by the dual corridors of the Great Northern railroad, which cuts across the northern half of the sheet, and the M St P & S Ste M line tracing the southern edge. The presence of rural educational infrastructure, specifically Grassland School No 1 and Grassland School No 2, highlights the established farming communities that populated this stretch of North Dakota prior to the mid-century. In the southwest corner, the Souris R provides a distinct break in the high prairie terrain, marking the drainage pattern of the Missouri River Basin development area.
