About this map

The Missouri River flows along the northern edge of this Mercer County landscape, where the waters of Lake Sakakawea meet the shoreline at Beulah Bay. The interior terrain is defined by a grid of rural roads and section lines that cross the prairie south of the river. This map is particularly significant for its documentation of family and community burial sites, recording the locations of Immanuel Cem, Weiderich Cem, and Saint Martin Cem. Further south, Link Cem and Bethel Cem sit within the drainage area of Antelope Cr. The map preserves the modern distribution of these small, localized landmarks alongside the natural hydrology and the large-scale impoundment of the Missouri. It serves as a clear record of the intersection between the region’s agricultural development and its historical spiritual and social centers.
