2011 Map of Fredonia NW

About this map

Family and ethnic legacies define this portion of Gutschmidt Township, where a high density of small cemeteries marks the prairie landscape. The map reveals the settlement patterns of Logan County through sites such as Emanuel Cemetery and the Finnish Cemetery, which point to the diverse immigrant history of the region. The terrain is a complex network of small wetlands and depressions characteristic of the Missouri Coteau, crisscrossed by a strict section-line road grid including 59th Ave SE and 64th St SE. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds like Labrenz Cemetery, Wolff Cemetery, and Eszlinger Cemetery, which serve as primary landmarks in this sparsely populated agricultural area. The absence of a central town on this sheet emphasizes the importance of these rural congregational and family sites as the anchors of the local community.
