2011 Map of Long Lake NW

About this map

Johannasthal Cemetery and Jewell Cemetery sit within the expansive prairie landscape of McIntosh County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of glacial wetlands and small lakes. This 2011 survey illustrates a highly organized section-line road system, where corridors such as 98th St SE and 350th Ave dictate the movement across the terrain. The map's detail highlights the rural character of the North Dakota-South Dakota borderlands, focusing on the preservation of historical burial sites like Emmanuel Cemetery that serve as central points for the surrounding dispersed farmsteads. The lack of concentrated settlements underscores the area's continued reliance on agriculture and its preservation of early twentieth-century land divisions.
