About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and protected wetlands dominate this Logan County landscape as it appeared in the early 1980s. The region is heavily defined by the National Waterfowl Production Area and the Logan County State Game Management Area, which preserve the complex network of sloughs and water bodies essential to the Central Flyway. These conservation zones are interspersed with private agricultural tracts, where small family cemeteries like St Lucas Cem, Sukut Cem, and Hope Cem stand as quiet markers of the area's rural heritage.

A scatter of wells and a Gravel Pit indicate the local extraction economy that operated alongside the region's wildlife management efforts. Notable for genealogists is the inclusion of an isolated Grave marker in the northern section, a specific detail often lost on less precise surveys. The mapping of Lcsgma further delineates the borders of the state-managed lands against the sprawling waterfowl production reaches.
