2014 Map of Eckman SE

About this map

Our Savior Cem serves as a central landmark at the intersection of McHenry, Renville, and Bottineau counties in this rural 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, including CR-0530 and CR-20, which navigate a terrain pocketed with numerous small wetlands and prairie potholes. Agricultural activity is the primary driver of the local economy, punctuated by the private Welstad Farms Airstrip in the eastern portion of the sheet. In the northern reaches, the seasonal flow of Cut Bank Cr cuts across the plains, representing the primary drainage for this open country. The placement of the church and cemetery on the Bottineau Co Renville Co border reflects the historical pattern of placing community institutions at accessible boundary points for disparate farming families.
