About this map

Coteau du Missouri forms the backdrop for this landscape along the border of McIntosh and Dickey counties. The terrain is defined by the numerous glacial wetlands and prairie potholes that characterize the Mcintosh County Waterfowl Production Area and the Dickey County Waterfowl Production Area. At the center of the sheet lies Coldwater Lake, a significant water body in this prairie environment.

Genealogists will find several rural landmarks including the Zion II Lutheran (Biederstedt) Cem and the Zion Number 1 Evangelical Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with the Salem Congregational Cem and the Bertsch Cem, point to the early settlement patterns of German-Russian families in the region. The map also identifies an Unnamed Pioneer Cem, marking a quiet historical trace of the pioneer era on the northern plains.
