2011 Map of Lehr NW

About this map

Small rural burial grounds and a dense network of sectional roads define this landscape in the prairie pothole region of Logan County. The map reveals the deep roots of local family and congregational history through the presence of Saint Lucas Cemetery, Sukut Cemetery, and Emanuels Cemetery. These markers of early settlement are connected by a grid of corridors such as Bainstad Rd and Burnstad Rd, which navigate around hundreds of small, unnamed wetlands and depressions typical of the North Dakota plains. In the southern reach, Hope Cemetery sits near the junction of several county routes, providing a record of the community's geographical center in the early 21st century. The survey illustrates the persistence of the township-and-range system, where life and transit are dictated by the straight lines of the rural road network amidst a naturally irregular watery terrain.
