1967 Map of Embden
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The Northern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across this Red River Valley landscape, anchoring the small community of Embden. This 1960s-era survey reveals an agricultural terrain defined by the winding course of Buffalo Creek and numerous extractive sites, including several Sandpit and Gravel Pits located near the rail line. Local heritage and family history are centered around the townships of Howes, Eldred, and Walburg, where rural gathering places such as St Johannes Ch and the neighboring St Johannes Cem served the local population. To the south, Tabor Cem and the waters of Lake Bertha mark the edges of this quiet prairie region, which was mapped as part of a larger effort for the development of the Missouri River Basin.
