2020 Map of Emmet

About this map

The small unincorporated community of Emmet serves as the central focal point of this McLean County landscape, situated along the intersection of 16th St NW and several rural routes. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road grid typical of the Great Plains, featuring routes like Perimeter Road and Co Hwy 6. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds provide important spatial landmarks across the prairie, including Assumption Cem in the southwest and Saint Peter Cem further east. Drainage in the southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of W Br Douglas Cr, which breaks the otherwise geometric precision of the surveyed agricultural parcels.
