1968 Map of Long Lake NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The glacial prairie of the Missouri Plateau, straddling the border between North Dakota and South Dakota, is defined by a dense network of prairie potholes and wetlands. In the late 1960s, this landscape supported a sparse network of section-line roads and family-named cemeteries that speak to the German-Russian heritage of the region. Johannasthal Cem and Emmanuel Cem are preserved here alongside Jewell Cem, serving as critical touchstones for genealogists researching the early homesteading families of McIntosh and McPherson Counties. Public land use is represented by the Camp Lake State Game Management Area, while local industry is limited to several Gravel Pits, indicating the reliance on local mineral resources for road maintenance in this expansive agricultural corridor.
