2017 Map of Eckman

About this map

Eckman and Dunning anchor this portion of the North Dakota prairie, illustrating the sparse settlement patterns typical of the state's northern agricultural landscape. The survey documents the border region where Bottineau and McHenry Counties meet, with the meandering path of Cut Bank Creek flowing through the southern sections. This modern topographic record is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies three distinct burial sites: Bethania Cem in the north, Holden Cem to the east, and Riverside Cem near the southern county line. The terrain is characterized by numerous small wetlands and depressions scattered across the township grid, reflecting the glacial history of the Red River Valley’s periphery. Aside from the small aviation facility at Tengesdal Airport, the area remains dedicated to agriculture, defined by a rigid network of section-line roads like 86th St NW and 16th Ave NW.
