2011 Map of Emmet NE

About this map

Middle Branch Douglas Creek and East Branch Douglas Creek dictate the geography of this rural North Dakota landscape in McLean County. The terrain is characterized by a structured grid of agricultural section lines, including 48th Ave NW and 22nd St NW, which serve the scattered farmsteads of the region. Local history is anchored by the Clifton Cemetery in the northwest corner, a significant landmark for genealogical research in this sparsely populated area. The presence of the Fischer Private Airstrip and Hager Dam illustrates the specialized land use and water management necessary for large-scale prairie farming during the early 21st century. As a relatively feature-sparse quadrangle, the map highlights the immense space and systematic organization of the American High Plains, where most activity follows the major thoroughfares like County Hwy 11.
