2011 Map of Emmet

About this map

Emmet anchors this rural landscape in McLean County, representing a traditional North Dakota prairie settlement defined by its grid of agricultural roads. The terrain is structured by a network of thoroughfares such as 18th St NW and 54th Ave NW, which divide the vast stretches of farmland typical of the region. A notable genealogical landmark is Blackwater Cemetery, located in the southwestern portion of the sheet near the drainage of West Branch Douglas Creek. This creek provides the primary natural relief to the otherwise geometric layout of the township, winding through the lower sections of the quadrangle. The map reflects a modern era of surveying where the historic section-line roads remain the primary conduits of travel and commerce for this small agricultural community.
