About this map

Trinity Mannhaven Cem and Saint James Lutheran - Krem Cem serve as prominent anchors for family history in this corner of Mercer County. The landscape is defined by the section-line road network and the winding course of Coal Creek as it moves through the southern townships. Rural life is centered around community landmarks like Peace Lutheran Church and several family-named burial grounds including Tschaekofske Cem and Goetz Cem. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of the North Dakota prairie, where township boundaries like t146n r86w and t145n r85w maintain the grid established over a century ago. The map detail reflects a quiet, agricultural region where small cemeteries and churches remain the primary points of historical reference across the undulating terrain.
