About this map

Saint Placidus Cem and the surrounding rangeland along St Placidus Rd characterize this portion of Hettinger County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Buffalo Cr, which cuts through the township boundaries of T136N and T135N. The section lines are clearly marked by a sparse network of gravel roads, including Newburg Rd and Burt Rd, connecting isolated homesteads and religious landmarks. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several denominational burial grounds, such as the Neuburg Congregational Cem and the Eichenfeld Baptist Cem. These sites reflect the early settlement patterns and community centers established by the various immigrant groups who farmed this high prairie region. The topographical data highlights the subtle but distinct drainage patterns and low buttes that define this corner of North Dakota.
