1997 Map of Towner NW

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Souris River meanders dramatically across this McHenry County landscape, its tight oxbows and marshy banks creating a complex riparian environment. This 1997 revision captures a rural district defined by wide-open plains and the conservation boundaries of the Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge in the north and the Custer Nat Forest in the south. The human footprint is marked by the distribution of country schoolhouses, which served as vital community hubs for the scattered farmsteads of the region. Notable landmarks including Poplar Grove Sch No 1, Mouse River Sch No 1, and Red Cross Sch No 1 provide precise anchor points for local historians and genealogists tracing family ties to these prairie townships.
