About this map

The prairie landscape of Logan County is defined by its numerous small depressions and sloughs, many of which are protected within the National Waterfowl Production Area. This 1983 survey shows the rural character of the region south of the town of Gackle, where the agricultural economy is punctuated by local infrastructure like Gackle Airport and various Gravel Pits. Significant local landmarks include Buffalo Hill and Cactus Point, which rise above the surrounding terrain and the scattered wetlands.

For genealogists and family historians, the map identifies specific community sites such as the Finnish Old Apostolic Ch and the nearby Saari Cem. To the northwest, the Neudorf Cem stands near the edge of the sheet. These sites, along with names like Finn and Gutschmidt printed in the township boundaries, provide essential clues to the ethnic and settlement history of this portion of North Dakota.
