2024 Map of Fredonia NW

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and extensive wetlands dominate this section of Logan County, characterized by a complex network of marshes and basins protected within the Logan County Waterfowl Production Area. The landscape is a study in early twentieth-century land division, where a grid of section-line roads like 64th St SE and 57th Ave SE crisscrosses the terrain, navigating around the numerous water bodies. For those researching the region's heritage, the map is remarkably dense with pioneer-era burial grounds. These small, scattered sites include the Emmanuel Congregational Cem, Finnish Cem, and the Eslinger Family Cem, each marking the legacy of the homesteading families and ethnic communities who settled these plains. Other family landmarks like the Wolff Cem, Labrenz Cem, and Friedenthal Cem reflect a pattern of rural settlement where local cemeteries often served as the primary remaining markers of early community clusters.
