2015 Map of Herreid NE

About this map

Neuwsma Lake sits at the heart of this prairie landscape, straddling the northern boundary where the Dakotas meet. This 2015 survey captures the rural character of the borderlands between Emmons County, North Dakota, and Campbell County, South Dakota. The terrain is defined by a strictly organized grid of agricultural roads, including 102nd St SE which follows the state line, and north-south connectors like 15th Ave S and 307th Ave. The map illustrates a region dedicated to expansive farming and ranching, where isolated corridors like Bridgewater Pl provide access to remote homesteads and section lands. The natural hydrology of the lake and its surrounding depressions provides a stark contrast to the precise geometric lines of the Public Land Survey System that govern the placement of every road and boundary in the area.
