About this map

Turtle Creek meanders through this portion of Hand County, defining a landscape of prairie drainage and small-scale rural infrastructure. This mid-century survey captures a pattern of isolated farmsteads and the critical role of local education in the Great Plains, evidenced by the distribution of one-room schools like Lone Star Sch, Lone Tree Sch, Corrin Sch, and Evans Sch. These structures, alongside the Town Hall, served as the primary civic anchors for the townships of Miller, St Lawrence, Logan, and Pearl. The terrain is punctuated by significant water features such as Jones Lake and Pearl Lake, which feed into the West Pearl and East Pearl Creek systems. A solitary Landing Field in the western section suggests the increasing importance of light aviation to these remote agricultural communities during the postwar era.
