2020 Map of Kongsberg NE

About this map

South Prairie Cem serves as a quiet landmark on this McHenry County prairie, situated just south of the meandering Wintering River. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of the Northern Plains, where Spring Coulee and Blacktail Coulee carve through the glacial till to manage the region's seasonal runoff. A prominent elevation, Little Butte, breaks the horizon line in the southeastern portion of the map, providing a distinct geographic marker for a territory otherwise organized by a precise grid of section lines and gravel roads. This 2020 update by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where township boundaries like t152n r80w and t151n r79w continue to dictate the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure.
