2018 Map of Claire City NW

About this map

Bergen Cem stands in the northwestern corner of this prairie landscape, a testament to the early Scandinavian settlement patterns that defined the borderlands between North Dakota and South Dakota. The terrain is characterized by a high density of wetlands and glacial depressions, including the prominent Kennedy Slough and the Park Lakebed. To the south, the headwaters of the Little Minnesota River begin their course, carving a subtle path through the agricultural grid. This 2018 survey reveals a modern rural landscape where the Jeffersonian survey system dictates the road network, as seen in the alignment of Co Rd 19 and Co Rd 22. The map captures the intersection of four different counties—Sargent and Richland in North Dakota, and Marshall and Roberts in South Dakota—illustrating the complex jurisdictional boundaries at this tri-state junction.
