2018 Map of Lincoln Valley NW

About this map

Glacial depressions and small prairie lakes define this portion of Sheridan County, where the upper reaches of the Sheyenne River meander through a landscape dominated by the Public Land Survey System's rigid grid. The area is characterized by its agricultural layout, with roads like 23rd St NE and 15th St NE marking the section lines of Townships 148 and 149 North. This 2018 survey provides critical detail for genealogists tracing Norwegian or German-Russian heritage in the Dakotas, as it specifically identifies local landmarks of faith and remembrance including the Holy Ghost Lutheran Cem and West Scandia Lutheran Cem. Aside from these cultural anchors, the terrain is primarily natural, featuring numerous unnamed wetlands alongside named bodies like Krueger Lake, Skogmo Lake, and Bentz Lake.
