1947 Map of Sheyenne Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Governor Fred G. Aandahl and Chief Engineer J. J. Walsh oversaw the water conservation interests of this prairie landscape during the late 1940s, a period when the rural school district system remained the backbone of local society. The map reveals an incredible density of one-room schoolhouses, including Pioneer Sch No 4, Berlin Sch No 1, and Mertz Sch No 1, which served the scattered farmsteads across the Sheridan and Wells county line. Central to the geography is the Sheyenne River feeding into Sheyenne Lake, while the presence of a Coal Mine near Coal Lake points to the localized extraction industries of the era.
