About this map

Lom Lutheran Cem sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of this region, serving as a significant landmark for local family historians. The landscape is defined by the prairie pothole region's distinctive hydrology, where numerous unnamed wetlands and larger basins like Lake Pickard, Gopher Tail Lake, and Deer Lake dot the terrain. The Goose River meanders through the central and southern sections, providing a natural drainage system through the undulating plains.

In the northeast, the outskirts of Niagara mark the transition toward more concentrated settlement. The survey illustrates a grid-like network of rural transit, including Co Rd 10 and 32nd St NE, which connect the scattered agricultural holdings. This detailed look at Nelson County shows a landscape where water management and cemetery placement provide the primary structural anchors for the community.
