About this map

Sheridan County and the southern edge of McHenry County converge in this section of the Prairie Pothole Region, where the landscape is defined by countless small wetlands and seasonal basins. The Sheridan County Waterfowl Production Area dominates the central terrain, preserving the vital habitat surrounding Kandt Lake. This map reveals a high-plains landscape organized by a rigid grid of gravel roads, from 31st St NE in the north to 24th St NE in the south, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System. For those tracing the heritage of the local farming community, two key landmarks stand as anchors of the rural social fabric: Rosenfeld Baptist Cem near the center of the sheet and Saint Peter Lutheran Cem further south, each representing the foundational church communities of the early twentieth century.
