About this map

The Scandinavian Norwegian Lutheran Cem stands as a significant cultural landmark in this section of Ramsey County, reflecting the deep Scandinavian heritage of the northern plains. This landscape is primarily defined by its agricultural grid and the natural drainage of Edmore Coulee, which meanders through the northeastern and southwestern corners of the quadrangle. The map details a systematic network of section-line roads, including Co Hwy 22A and a series of rural routes from 66th St NE down to 58th St NE, illustrating the persistent 160-acre homestead pattern established during the era of settlement. The terrain is dotted with numerous small wetlands and depressions typical of the prairie pothole region, influencing the placement of farms and transit corridors across the townships.
