2014 Map of Gackle South

About this map

Gackle sits at the northeastern corner of this Logan County landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of small wetlands and depressions typical of the Missouri Coteau, punctuated by distinctive landmarks like Buffalo Hill and Cactus Point. The road network follows the section line grid, including several routes like Neu Dorf Rd and New Dorf Rd that suggest the enduring German-Russian heritage of the region's settlers. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Neudorf Cem in the northwest and Saari Cem in the southeast, marking the locations of earlier community focal points. Aviation infrastructure is present at the Gackle Municipal Airport, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by water features such as School Lake.
