About this map

The Pomme de Terre River meanders through this portion of Swift County, anchoring a landscape defined by its rural cemeteries and small-scale water management. Genealogists will find several burial grounds distributed across the grid of section roads, including Saint Johns Cemetery, Trinity Cemetery, and the Smith- Kepner Cemetery. The presence of multiple dams, such as the Marquardt Dam, Frank Schlieman Dam, and Berthold Koosmann Dam, reflects the local engineering efforts to manage the river's flow for the surrounding agricultural community. These named features, alongside the Evangelical Cemetery and Immanuel Cemetery, provide a detailed record of family and community heritage in the early 21st century, centered around the intersection of local transport routes like County Hwy-58 and the river valley.
