About this map

Scattered cemeteries and a strict section-line road grid define this portion of Burke County, where the landscape is marked by a high density of small wetlands and depressional basins. The map illustrates the rural character of the region, anchored by historical burial grounds such as Bethlehem Lutheran Cem and Buckneberg Cem. These sites, along with Bethany Cem and Fern Cem, serve as primary landmarks for genealogical research in an area otherwise dominated by agricultural sections and local routes like Co Rd 6. The terrain reveals the complex glacial topography of the northern plains, where the absence of a defined drainage system has created a mosaic of water bodies across the townships of T162N R94W and T161N R93W.
