2019 Map of Flaming

About this map

Old Sundal Cem and the settlement of Flaming sit upon a landscape defined by the subtle contours of the Red River Valley. This part of Norman County displays the rigid section-line organization of the Public Land Survey System, with a dense grid of gravel roads like 330th Ave and 350th St serving local farmsteads. The winding course of Spring Creek provides a natural break in the geometric regularity of the fields, while the Agassiz Trail runs north-south, tracing the ancient shoreline of a glacial lake. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of Spring Creek Cem and Luchau Cem, which anchor the history of this agricultural community. The southern edge of the survey reaches the outskirts of Gary, showing the area's ongoing connection to the regional transport network of county roads like Co Rd 143.
