2011 Map of Cleveland SW

About this map

Friedens Cemetery sits on a high point in the southwestern corner of this quadrangle, offering a quiet marker of local genealogy within the glacial pothole region of North Dakota. The landscape is defined by its numerous water bodies, including School Lake and the substantial Trautman Slough, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the prairie. The terrain is organized by a strict section-line road grid, where routes like 60th Ave SE and 41st St SE provide access to these wetlands. To the east, the concentration of water increases with features such as Weber Slough, Thornton Slough, and Balch Slough. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the rural character of Stutsman County, showing how modern infrastructure like County Hwy 68 navigates the gaps between these seasonal and permanent water features.
