2020 Map of Gackle North

About this map

The Stutsman Co Logan Co boundary line runs through this prairie landscape, where the town of Gackle anchors the southeastern corner. This area of the North Dakota plains is characterized by a dense network of small wetlands and depressions that dot the terrain, influencing the grid of section lines and gravel roads. Local history and genealogy interests are centered on the rural religious sites that served early settlers, including the Bloomenfeld German Baptist Church Cem and the Germania Evangelical Cem. These sites, along with names like Neu Dorf Rd, reflect the ethnic heritage of the German-Russian communities that populated the region. The map captures the interplay between the strictly surveyed township lines, such as t137n r68w, and the scattered water bodies that break the agricultural pattern.
