1950 Map of Towner NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Souris River meanders sharply through this McHenry County landscape, its tight oxbows and flood-prone banks protected in the north by the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society organized around small district schoolhouses and isolated homesteads. Landmarks such as Poplar Grove Sch No 1, Mouse River Sch No 1, and Red Cross Sch No 1 indicate the localized nature of education before consolidation.
