2020 Map of Lincoln Valley NW

About this map

The Sheyenne River meanders across the central landscape of Sheridan County, shaping a terrain defined by numerous prairie potholes and seasonal wetlands. This 2020 survey documents a section of the North Dakota prairie organized by a strictly defined grid of section-line roads, including 23rd St NE and 15th St NE. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the precise locations of several rural burial grounds that serve as landmarks of the area's pioneer heritage, such as the Holy Ghost Lutheran Cem and West Scandia Lutheran Cem. Further south, near the banks of Bentz Lake, the Hoffer-Krein Cem remains a notable site. Large water bodies like Krueger Lake and Skogmo Lake punctuate the northern sections, illustrating the glacial topography of the region.
