1972 Map of Edmore NE

About this map

Glacial topography and prairie potholes define this section of the Red River Valley hinterlands along the border of Ramsey and Walsh counties. The landscape is structured by early township divisions such as Highland Center and Kinloss, where section lines and local roads navigate around numerous small wetlands and drainage features like Nekoma Branch and East Branch Nekoma Coulee. This 1972 survey highlights the area's agricultural and conservation character, notably containing a large National Waterfowl Production Area. Local genealogy is anchored by the presence of rural burial grounds, including St Olaf Cem and Sobak Cem, while several scattered Gravel Pits suggest the localized extraction of glacial deposits for road building and maintenance in the townships of Newland and Dewey.
