About this map

Braddock anchors this corner of Emmons County, situated where Goose Creek winds through the glacial topography. The landscape is defined by the Altamont Moraine, a glacial feature that influences the drainage of Goose Lake and the various marshy basins found throughout the township. The town's grid is small and orderly, clustered near Railroad Ave E and Mitchell St, serving as a central point for the surrounding prairie homesteads.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, including Saint Katherines Cem and Braddock Cem just outside the main settlement, as well as the more isolated Maria Cem to the east. The presence of Braddock Dam and the meandering Long Lake Creek illustrate the water management essential to this agricultural region of North Dakota, where the survey lines of T136N and T135N intersect.
