About this map

Saint Olaf Cemetery stands as a primary landmark in this rural section of Burke County, where the landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals an area dominated by agricultural sections partitioned by a grid of gravel and dirt roads, such as 97th Ave NW and 100th St NW. The terrain is characterized by scattered prairie potholes and small wetlands, which break the linearity of the section lines and influenced the local road network. Aside from the cemetery, the map shows County Rd 6 serving as a significant corridor for local transit across the northern plains of North Dakota in the early twenty-first century.
