About this map

Lankin serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Walsh County, where the town's grid is defined by streets like Norton St and Division St. The surrounding countryside is marked by a deep-rooted history of settlement, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds including Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Christianson Cemetery, Machart Cemetery, and Saint Josephs Cemetery. These sites are often the last standing markers of the early immigrant communities that established farms across this territory.

The winding course of the North Branch Forest River cuts through the northern and central sections of the quadrangle, managed by infrastructure such as the North Branch Forest River Number 5 Dam and North Branch Forest River Number 6 Dam. A precise network of section-line roads, including County Rd 14 and 66th St NE, connects the dispersed farmsteads to the central grain and transport facilities in town.
