About this map

Scatterwood Lake and its northern counterpart, North Scatterwood Lake, dominate the eastern landscape of this Edmunds County survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands typical of the Glacial Till Plains, including Tomek Slough in the northwest. Water management and drainage are central to the geography here, with Preachers Run and Perry Cr meandering through the section lines, reflecting the hydraulic character of the eastern Dakotas.

Evidence of early community life is preserved at United Cem, located near the intersection of 149th St and 367th Ave. The map illustrates a rigid grid of township roads, such as Co Hwy 2 and numerous numbered streets, which delineate the agricultural tracts. This 2012 snapshot provides genealogists and land researchers with a clear view of the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology before further modern development or landscape changes.
