1950 Map of Wellsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Sheyenne River carves a deep, winding valley through the center of this Central North Dakota landscape, creating a stark contrast to the surrounding glaciated plains. In the mid-20th century, the Great Northern railroad served as the primary industrial lifeline for the small settlement of Wellsburg, positioned where the tracks run parallel to the county line. The map captures a transition in rural education, documenting several numbered country schools including Odessa Sch No 1, School No 3, and South Fram Sch scattered across the townships of Hagel and Fram. A notable landmark, Butte De Morale, rises prominently above the western plains, while the East Fork drains the northeast corner, illustrating the complex water patterns that dictated early farmstead placement in Wells County.
