1956 Map of Straubville

About this map

Straubville serves as the primary rail settlement in this mid-century survey of Sargent County, situated along the Great Northern railroad line. The landscape is defined by the complex glacial topography of the Prairie Pothole Region, where numerous depressions and low-lying areas create significant water bodies like Lake Taayer, Pickell Slough, and Meszaros Slough. These features, alongside the high point at Pickell, dictated the placement of agricultural boundaries and transport corridors through townships like Verner, Harlem, and Jackson.
