1961 Map of Wimbledon NE

About this map

The Griggs Co Barnes Co boundary line runs through this prairie landscape, where the township structure of eastern North Dakota is clearly defined by rural sections and civil townships. Sparse but essential community infrastructure is visible, including the Pierce Sch and Laketown Sch, serving the surrounding agricultural lands. The topography is characterized by a high density of small depressions and seasonal water bodies typical of the glaciated plains, interrupted occasionally by industrial activity such as the Gravel Pits in the northeast. The map provides a detailed view of the township divisions, including Dover, Bartley, Pierce, Laketown, Uxbridge, and Edna. Many of these township names and school locations represent the core of local rural identity during the early 1960s, a period when small country schools were still prominent landmarks on the North Dakota prairie.
