1960 Map of Wyndmere NW

About this map

Richland County's agricultural landscape is carefully documented here at the turn of the 1960s, showing a grid of rural life across the townships of Sheyenne, Viking, Freeman, and Garborg. The area is characterized by a high density of small-scale social landmarks that anchored this farming community, including several local schools such as School No 2 and School No 3. These structures, along with the Freeman Sch, suggest a decentralized education system that served families within a few miles' travel. Religious and commemorative sites like the United Lutheran Ch, the Nordmanna Cem, and the Freeman Cem provide essential data points for genealogists tracing pioneer families and early 20th-century settlers in this corner of North Dakota.
