2011 Map of May Lake NW

About this map

South Branch Beaver Creek meanders through the northwest and southwest corners of this McIntosh County landscape, anchoring a rural grid of sectional roads. The 2011 survey reveals a landscape largely defined by agricultural continuity, marked by a significant concentration of communal burial grounds that serve as touchstones for local family history. Genealogists and researchers can identify the locations of Beaver Creek Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, Old Kassel Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery, which are distributed across the township lines. The strictly organized road network, including 81st St SE and 31st Ave SE, follows the traditional Public Land Survey System, illustrating how late-twentieth-century infrastructure remained bound to historic property boundaries in this part of North Dakota.
