2014 Map of May Lake NW

About this map

S Branch Beaver Cr meanders through the rolling terrain of McIntosh County, providing the primary drainage for this rural agricultural landscape. The map reveals a strict section-line grid of local roads, such as 85th St SE and 33rd Ave SE, which define the pattern of land use and access for the area's farming community. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of four distinct burial grounds. The presence of Beaver Creek Cem, Ebenezer Cem, Old Kassel Cem, and Saint Johns Cem scattered across the landscape suggests the locations of early settlement clusters and congregational centers that may no longer have standing buildings. These sites, along with the primary thoroughfare of CR-2610, anchor the history of this prairie region.
