2020 Map of Heimdal

About this map

Heimdal sits at the heart of this central North Dakota landscape, a small prairie settlement defined by the winding course of the Sheyenne River and its N Fork. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Big Slough, which dominates the eastern and southern portions of the survey area. This 2020 topographical study highlights a high density of Lutheran heritage sites, reflecting the cultural settlement patterns of the region. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Klara Lutheran Cem to the north and the Hoff Lutheran Cem near the southern boundary. The presence of Bethania Church and its associated Bethania Cem and Bethania Cem South locations provides a detailed look at the religious infrastructure that anchored these rural communities.
