2011 Map of Long Lake NE

About this map

Saint Lucas Cemetery and several family-named burial grounds define this rural landscape on the North Dakota and South Dakota border. The terrain is characterized by numerous small prairie potholes and larger water bodies like Coldwater Lake in the north and Rath Lake further south. This 2011 survey documents a sparse settlement pattern connected by a grid of section-line roads, including 98th St SE and 357th Ave. The distribution of the Ehresman Cemetery, Saron Cemetery, and Gienger Cemetery suggests the enduring footprint of early homesteading families in this agricultural region. The landscape remains largely undeveloped, preserving the original surveying grid and the natural drainage patterns of the Dakota prairie.
