2012 Map of Long Lake NE

About this map

Glacial prairie potholes and scattered wetlands define the landscape of Albertha Township near the North Dakota and South Dakota border. This 2012 survey illustrates the section-line road grid that organizes the rural terrain, with Coldwater Lake and Rath Lake serving as prominent hydraulic features in an otherwise agricultural expanse. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of small, family-associated or denominational burial grounds. Scattered across the township are the Saint Lucas Cem, Ehresman Cem, Saron Cem, and Gienger Cem, each marking a legacy of early settlement patterns in Dickey County. The transport network remains focused on local farm-to-market access, utilizing routes like Elm Rd and numbered avenues that follow the strict cardinal geometry of the Public Land Survey System.
