2011 Map of Embden

About this map

The small settlement of Embden serves as the focal point of this rural Cass County landscape, situated along a grid of section-line roads and the diagonal path of Front St. This agricultural region is defined by the winding course of Buffalo Creek, which snakes across the prairie toward the Swan Buffalo Number 8 Dam. The proximity of Saint Johannes Cemetery and Tabor Cemetery along 44th St SE provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in Eldred Township. Toward the southwest corner, the map details the shoreline of Lake Bertha, highlighting the scattered wetlands and water bodies that punctuate the otherwise highly structured township and range survey system. The documentation of named rural avenues and streets offers a clear record of the area's development and infrastructure during the early 21st century.
