About this map

Luverne anchors the southern edge of this Steele County landscape, where the prairie grid is interrupted by the winding course of the Sheyenne River. The river valley, which forms the western boundary of the township, is partially flooded by the northern reaches of Lake Ashtabula, a significant water feature that defines the local topography. Along the eastern bluffs of the river, the N Country National Scenic Trail provides a continuous path through the terrain, passing near several local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including the Peterson Cem, Pederson Cem, and Luverne Cem. The land is dotted with numerous small bodies of water characteristic of the region, such as Willow Lake, Stony Lake, and Lone Tree Lake. Further north, the Johnson Private Airstrip sits amongst a network of secondary roads including Co HWY 5 and Co HWY 25, illustrating the modern agricultural and transportation patterns of the North Dakota plains.
