2011 Map of Alkaline Lake NW

About this map

Glueckstal Cemetery stands as a primary landmark in this section of Logan County, signaling the area's deep ties to the German-Russian heritage of North Dakota's homesteaders. This high-plains landscape is defined by its characteristic prairie pothole topography, where hundreds of small, scattered wetlands dot the section lines. The rural infrastructure follows a rigid cardinal grid, with long stretches such as 35th Ave SE and 48th St SE connecting isolated agricultural operations. In the northwestern corner, Nicholson Field serves the local farming community, while the southeastern corner is anchored by the waters of Fresh Lake. The map reveals a region focused on large-scale cultivation and grazing, where the preservation of small family or community burying grounds provides the main physical link to the early 20th-century settlement era.
