About this map

Rocky Run and Scotts Slough meander through this prairie landscape on the border of Wells, Eddy, and Foster counties. This region of central North Dakota is characterized by its organized grid of section lines, including 14th St NE and 6th St NE, which define the agricultural rhythm of the plains. The small settlement of Lemert sits in the southeast corner of the sheet, while the Norwegian Lutheran Cem in the northwest corner serves as a significant landmark for genealogical research, anchoring the heritage of early Scandinavian homesteaders. The presence of Pipestem Creek in the southwest corner further illustrates the natural drainage patterns of this glacially influenced terrain, where small wetlands and sloughs break up the vast stretches of farmland.
