About this map

The northern prairies of Ward County, as documented just before the mid-century, reveal a rural landscape organized by the township and range system into distinct districts like Sundre, New Prairie, and Willis. The terrain is defined by a series of deep coulees, including Kemp Coulee and Mostad Coulee, which drain toward the Souris R in the northeast. This 1950 edition shows the area at a peak of localized rural infrastructure, where nearly every township section is served by its own numbered schoolhouse, such as School No 2 and School No 4. A glimpse of the local energy economy is visible in the southeast corner at the Lignite Mine near Oak Cr, while community life is anchored by sites like Highland Ch and the centrally located Center Cem.
