1965 Map of Herreid NE

About this map

Nieuwsma Lake dominates the northern portion of this prairie landscape, situated near the boundary where North Dakota meets South Dakota. Published in the mid-1960s, the map documents a rural agricultural region defined by a high density of section lines and field divisions. Evidence of local infrastructure includes a Radio Tower and several scattered Gravel Pits, indicating the small-scale extraction industries common to the plains during this era. A lonely Cem (cemetery) is marked near the center of the sheet, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this borderland area between Emmons and Campbell counties.
