2020 Map of May Lake SW

About this map

New Kassel Cem and Kassel Cem serve as the primary historic landmarks in this quiet section of rural North Dakota. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of section-line roads, including 91st St SE and 32nd Ave SE, which partition the undulating terrain into standardized agricultural blocks. A series of unnamed small lakes and wetlands dot the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle, particularly along 93rd St SE, suggesting a drainage pattern common to the glaciated plains. The preservation of these two cemeteries amidst the sprawling farmland provides a specific point of reference for genealogists tracing early settlement patterns in this part of McIntosh County.
