1952 Map of Steele NE

About this map

Buffalo Lake and the interconnected wetlands of the Prairie Pothole Region dominate this landscape in central North Dakota. Mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey and the State of North Dakota reveals a rural landscape organized by townships such as Allen, Vernon, and Sibley. Local community centers of the early 1950s are preserved here, including School No 1 and School No 2, along with the Allen Cem. To the southeast, the settlement of Dawson sits near the edges of Dead Buffalo Lake and Big Muddy Lake, illustrating the close relationship between pioneer-era development and the area's complex hydrology. The map provides a precise record of section lines and township roads that served the local ranching and farming economy during this post-war period.
