1961 Map of Sheldon NE

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Maple River carves a winding course through the prairie of southeastern North Dakota, defining the landscape of Walburg and Watson townships. This 1961 survey depicts a transition in the rural economy, where the Northern Pacific railroad cuts across the southern plains, connecting the small centers of Leonard and Coburn. Genealogists will find critical local landmarks such as Watson Cem and Leonard Cem, providing precise locations for early pioneer burials near the township lines. The topography is meticulously detailed, capturing the intricate drainage patterns leading into the river valley and the scattered farmsteads that defined the region's agricultural footprint. Multi-county boundaries are clearly marked, showing the meeting of Cass, Ransom, and Richland counties near the southern edge of the quadrangle, which includes parts of Helendale township.
