2011 Map of Braddock

About this map

Braddock anchors this section of Emmons County, situated where the seasonal waters of Goose Creek and Long Lake Creek navigate the prairie. The settlement pattern follows a rigid grid of rural avenues and streets, a hallmark of the Great Plains' development. To the south, the topography transitions into the Altamont Moraine, a glacial feature that influences the local drainage and land use. Local history is well-represented through three distinct burial grounds: Braddock Cemetery, Saint Katherines Cemetery, and Maria Cemetery, the latter overlooking the western shore of Goose Lake. Infrastructure supporting the local economy and travel includes the Braddock Dam and the McLeish Landing Strip, while Railroad Ave preserves the memory of the corridor that once fueled the town's growth.
